Version: Episode 2
Potentially okay unfolding story but a lot of room for improvement
What the game has going for it is
- attractive women with different BWH proportions
- older women fetish (all 3 featured are older than MC)
- a potential lactation fetish
Even though the dev stated his struggle in the opening of the game, I believe constructive criticism and mature reception can only make his work better. Everything else below is what can improve:
Writing
- needs an English revision- too much Engrish makes everyone sound dumb and can't take them seriously
- once this is fixed, the writing and lore can be better appreciated but so far I can't point out anything amazing about the writing
- unnecessary and repetitive premise in prologue (introduction of MC and his lineage's sexual culture/open relationship/free-use)
- the "free-use" family tradition doesn't have an immediate effect on the story so builds false expectations
- instead, after introductions, we have a typical premise of MC returning, from boarding school, to his [mother]'s home with nothing uniquely different with how any other average adult VN family behaves
- sidenote: the sci fi plot twist is also nothing unfamiliar but does make it interesting
- free-use custom is mentioned by the characters in the succeeding episodes with enough information in less words - even hinting to it is more intriguing than addressing it at the prologue
- the dream, in prologue, is reused exactly the same (including dialogue) with no alteration
- it would be fine if it was shorter but its length just makes it look like a lazy reuse
UI
- no save option or quick menu
- unnecessary 'New Character Discovered' notification - there's no point to it in a kinetic VN, moreso forcing you to click a Close button
- icons in Contact Book are not defined
- the relationship role naming placeholder implies [Mom] as there is a hardcoded [step] prefix in later text - this creates semantic issues if someone does not name the mother/caretaker as mom, e.g. stepmom or aunty will result in 'stepstepmom' or 'stepaunty'
Renders and Plot
- average rendering
- inconsistency in colour lighting when MC hugs his mom on arrival
- Ep II ending in the dark shows good use of shadow and light
- the father/Liam's side hairline thickness changes in the middle of dialogue
- the way the mother empties her leaky jugs doesn't make sense- it would just equal a mess
- also, the milk looks like the same opaque glue-like texture used for poorly rendered semen - adding some translucency to make it look watery will help this
- lastly, the episodes are really short that I'd hate to call them an episode
The game contains
big boobs and butts, approaches popular fetishes like
incest and milfs as well as more niche ones like
lactation so just that in itself will appeal to the average reader once enough content is pushed out. But for those that want carefully crafted plot sequences and depth to actions along with their sexual content then you will be disappointed.
Good luck to the dev, which ever process you decide to undergo, whether it be doing what you have planned for years or revisiting your approach based on feedback, you will get an audience I believe.
