    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... The version this review is based on is v0.9...

    Originally Reviewed on 01/10/2018

    This Visual Novel/Game is definitely focused more on the sex than any real meaningful/deep story... It is also yet another VN/game that uses the Family Sex stuff...

    Visually the characters/backdrops are ok, but a majority of the pictures vary in quality with some being slightly grainy to some being very grainy or somewhere in-between... When you get to a point where navigation in the house is possible, a majority of the time none of the rooms have anything happening at all, especially in the mornings... It felt like the navigation feature could have been done away with, since most of the time it meant nothing to the story progression or events... It might have been better served with only offering navigation when the choice actually mattered... There are lots of small changes to character visuals with their facial expressions, or body placement now and then, which was a cool detail to add... You just have to pay real close attention, because sometimes they are such subtle changes, you may not even notice them when you space bar or left click through the story...

    The script sometimes had a slight amount of broken English, as well as spelling/grammar errors... For the most part it was readable just fine... The plot is very simple, there is a male protagonist living with his mother, and two friends of the mother come to visit... The protagonists only real goal is to have as many sexual encounters as he can with as many women as he can... Moments when there is actual story progression it moves extremely quickly, basically attempting to drive the reader towards the sex content as quickly as possible with no regard to timing, immersion, realistic behavior, or anything else... The author/s could have done away with many of the story bits, and in most cases you wouldn't probably of even noticed they were missing... At first you get a feeling this is going to be a Seduction/Love story, but it turns out to be a self centered manipulative teenager wants a sex harem story... And all the other characters seem to want to oblige him as quickly as possible with out much resistance or story lead in... The mothers friends daughter is probably the only character that takes more time to seduce/manipulate...

    An example of immersion breaking would be when the protagonist first has a choice to go into his mothers room to talk to her about a prior sexual scene with the mothers female friend... He basically is presented with the option of molesting his mother as she sleeps, bringing her to full orgasm, yet she doesn't wake up during or after all that? Really? Or how about the second time he goes to see his mother in her room, she is drinking and announces to her son that she is getting a divorce... How does the protagonist react? Not by being confused or angry or disturbed in any real way... Instead, he gets the option to sexually seduce her right away with lots of kissing which then almost immediately leads into a long sex scene, where at the end he tells her she will be his cum dump and she doesn't get angry and doesn't seem bothered by it at all, latterly no reaction to him having said that... He basically treats her nice to have sex, and then treats her like trash afterwards, yet she doesn't seem to have an issue or care? All these types of scenes leads me to believe that this is just another B-Rated Porn game... Because no one behaves like a rational human being, and the believability goes out the window due to lack of any real relationship progression/reaction...

    Now, when I first started playing this VN/Game I noticed, what I thought was an issue during most sexual events... As when I pressed the spacebar or left clicked to move past any story text, there seemed to be very long pauses or lack of response from doing so... I suspected something was seriously going wrong when it kept happening through out the first shower sexual scene with the mothers friend and the protagonist getting caught peeping... I paid real close attention to the scene, thinking perhaps there was something going on that I didn't notice, that was somehow disallowing the story text to move on to the next set of text... On occasion there was slight changes in facial expressions and or body positions, but nothing I thought could explain the massive amount of slow response... I decided to turn my speakers back on, as a hunch, and that is when I noticed the event was chopped full of sound effects... In fact, I came to realize this whole VN/Game had a ton of sound effects in it... I do find it cool that the author/s got into that much detail with facial expressions, sound effects, and so on... But using spacebar and left click didn't always progress the scene with any real changes all the time... I can only attribute this to the game engine not allowing skipping until the sound file had been completely played at least one full play through first or perhaps something else was causing all these lag like delays with attempting to move it along?

    Overall, I really couldn't keep playing this VN/game after a while... There is a huge focus on lengthy sexual scenes with lots of facial expression changes and sound effects, which gives a bit of immersion to those scenes, but the rest of the story is lacking any depth, and feels extremely rushed... Feels like the only real driving force behind this VN/game is, lets get the reader to the next lengthy sexual encounter as quickly as possible, who cares about the actual story... The inability to get a sex scene to move a bit faster through the story text is a nightmare, as you feel almost forced to go through them at the slow pace the author/s intended for them... It was all these little things that drove me to stop playing the game in it's entirety... Now, this VN/game is still in development, but based on it's version number, it should be almost completed... I will most likely not try this one again, because I don't see all the issues I had with this game changing any time soon, because it is almost at completion... The author/s are probably satisfied with their product as it currently stands, being this far into it... I wish them luck...

    Review based on version 0.85

    Other good games I've been reviewed usually had strong/interesting story plot and dialog, but often disappointing in sex scene. This game's developer, are good making sex scene, very passionate and believable, but story isn't his strong perk. It's a fiction yes, but like targeting kid fantasy instead mature audience.

    Now, when I check the developer, he's the creator of another game (My Little Princess) that I detest & rate so bad. Now comparing his old and recent work, Perv2k16 did increase slightly his writing skill but the sex scene is either the best yet or maybe I've never felt so long a good sex scene games in the last 2 years.

    Anyway, I love this game as it got strong fapping point, but with a warning !

    After opening the archive and image folder by version, the game development is super slow, like under 50 picture per update with only 1 scene, not multiple scene. So if you want to back him up as Patron, watch this dev tendency. Right now, his Patreon donation still insignificant, so understandable if he's not full time making the game, in fact low hours of development. But the game itself is recommended.

    This game probaly has the best sex scenes i ever seen, compared to similar games; much more passionate and intense. However, the updates come way too slowly and are poor in terms of overall content.
    Do i recommend it? Absolutely yes if you feel patient enough, otherwise my suggest is to wait for a couple more updates before playing it to improve the experence.
