Unity - Completed - Man of the House [v1.0.2c Extra] [Faerin]

Good dating sim with appealing girls with decently-written and routes to them, each one with plenty of content available.
The strength of this game may be the content as the current version already packs relatively to the other "AAA" smuts you can find here with surprisingly over 10 hours of content on a non-cheating/walkthrough assisted first playthrough which is(not) surprising given how linear the routes are.
Regarding the negatives, besides the obvious "it's unfinished", the fact that it is a dating sim, as you may imagine, some of those hours end up being spent grinding stats up to unlock the next lewd which may make the lewds extra rewarding when you get to them but may let you feel intimidated once you begin another girl's route. Another "negative" may be the use of "famous" models, namely the protagonist and Ashley. Sure, it is only a negative for pervs like me who almost play these games for a living but perhaps opting for other, lesser-known ones could prevent the weird Dejavu.

EDITED: 1 year later after playing v1.0.0.

The Veredict: Great game, already an all timer of this still young golden era of indie porn games, much more rewarding gameplay than *other similar themed games that comes to mind*.

The Grind:
At first I tried to play it without cheats. It has several status meter (hygiene, stress...) that you have to maintain constantly by showering, eating, watching porn... That grows pretty boring pretty fast. Fortunately, it has a built-in cheat mode in which you can max up and lock up those stats.

But the "sexual grind" is a different beast. Most of the times you have to repeat a scene 5 times before it escalates (EDIT: this has been greatly smoothed, although It wasn't that bad at the first place, but now its less repetition, and every scene has a slight variation that makes it worth reading again) . Yeah, sometimes it gets repetitive but its essential to the sense of corruption, which is achieved like very few other games had. Mostly through good writing and, specially, through excellent designed game mechanics.

The Gameplay:
When I first played this game *that highly popular game in which you corrupts your family* came to mind. But the core difference to me is that, while in *that one* you progress while doing counterintuitive things in the margins of your routine day, sometimes by chance, sometimes following a walkthrough; in MOTH your grind routine IS the progress. You are always informed when you are progressing. And when you don't progress, you have a self-sufficient hint system (optional) in-game. So while it has some (necessary) grind, it's way way less frustrating.

The Fetishes: i'm commenting only on incest and submission, but there are many more.
-Incest: MOTH has a common "problem" in which incest is severely downplayed. Almost never they mention how weird it is they are fucking being family and all, and strangers make no comment when they know about it. Now, I'm aware that compliance with Patreon TOS is a factor but in the end is a fetish in name only. EDIT: This has been greatly corrected, specially in the mom route. Playing with the incest patch, of course.

-Dom/Sub: My favorite part of the game. It begins as a revenge blackmail that grows sexual step by step (with a couple of very clever expectations defying twists). The MC is not a rapist sociopath, and the first time he gets openly sexual, it has been heavily hinted by her that she enjoys the punishments and that he could (should?) go further. Now, while I enjoy the outcome, I would have preferred a more jerk MC, and a more passive Sub (guilty enjoying it and with less agency, at least at first). Anyhow, this is a matter of personal taste, and the fact still remains that this route, that kickstarts more Sub routes later, is extremely sexy and well done. Really looking forward to see how this fetish would be implemented in his next game.

EDIT: I first rated it 4 stars, but this almost finished version is clearly already a classic. Perfect score well deserved.

Excellent game. A bit of a learning curve and use of cheat console and walkthrough highly recommended to minimize frustration but great characters, graphics and story. Fast click response and not overly complex stats/interaction.

My favorite pure and simple. The mother's story is great. The little sister's story is great. The big sister's story is great. All three characters are different and the MC's approach is unique to each of them. Only one character I don't like and she is not that important (skinny and small boobs, no thanks).
The sex scene's animations are nice and you can control the speed if you like.
More importantly you can play without a walkthrough because you can search what to do without worrying you made a wrong choice. If you lack points for an event it willnot occur until you accumulate the points whenever you want.
It's a must try.

It's no wonder that for almost a year I and some colleagues have done the translation of this excellent game into my Portuguese language of Brazil, due to the fact that I have really enjoyed the way the plot of the game was developed and also by the simplicity of the developer Faerin deal with the suggestions of the fans he has been conquering with this one more than 1 year, becoming in this small period the 3rd most viewed game and commenting here in the Forum!

I confess that I created a certain friendship with Faerin, always giving suggestions to him, because as a player of several games here of the forum, I realized that the other players wanted to see in games of that adult type!

Summarizing over time, it has improved the history and the 3D arts and even included the animations differently from other games, where it is possible to control the speed of it.

Congratulations @Faerin on the excellent work!

This game is Brilliant!! The developer is Outstanding!!! The story line is captivating and intriguing. He's very accessible and active in the community and listening to his "customer base" and fixing things extremely fast. He's put a lot of time in his story line and always leave you waiting with baited breath for the next release. If you're looking for a Great Game this is one of them, I recommend you support him on patreon, since he has delivered what he's promised, which is rare in this genre. Keep up the Great Work Faerin!

This is an absolutely excellent game! There are a few minor issues here and there, but nothing that will ruin the fun! The visual side could be better, but it's still pretty good! From what I understand, the developer probably wanted to focus on gameplay more, which is great because it means they've got their priorities straight! The second problem is portability. Almost all games here are accessible on other OSs (like Linux and MacOS), but this one is not. Anyway, I didn't want this to sound like criticism. This game offers every man's dream: to have access to a horde of new girls, and seduce them, manipulate them in bad, try everything with them... with a funny story, and lots of boobs!

Pros:

-Half good animations, which is where the 1 star comes from

Cons:

-Incredibly cumbersome UI navigation.

-Crazy amount of pointless grinding to get that one scene
that you might miss and have to grind some more.

-Typical cheesy story that adds absolutely nothing to the narrative.

-Hideous recycled character design, with bland looks and that are as interesting as a wet sock.

-Your typical exaggerated expressions that are borderline creepy

-Balloon asses/tits left and right but with the added bonus of looking extra crappy and clearly messing some poses

-Since this game launched a year ago, absolutely nothing has improved render wise. Usually Devs that actually care about the game, put the work in and further improve the visuals...but not here.
Still the same terrible lighting and the average time spent on making the vast majority of these renders is about 3-4mins tops.

-Cliche cringy scenes left and right for easy content. "Oh what's that ? my shirt just slipped and you saw my boob ?! nooo waaay"..... "She just bent over and I saw her panties ?! WOW better start jerking off then"...you get the idea

It's hard for people to tell, that have no experience with the programs used to make a game like this, but this is about as low effort as you can get, and I doubt that he puts more than 15hrs of work between updates.

Any complete beginner can make what he's making in tops 1hr, and most of that time would be spent downloading the assets...not even joking.

There's a lot more shit, but bottom line is, Dev is doing this solely for the money and nothing else. The fact that he has this many supporters is beyond me, and the only thing that I can think of is that they forgot to cancel their payments..

There's quite a few good devs out there now that are always improving with each update, so spare yourself the trouble and the money and help them out.

Good game, but it has its flaws. The grinding and unclear goals (especially with the boyfriend) can get annoying. In previous releases, I resorted to using cheats and walk-throughs just to avoid a game-over. "Game Over"--yes, this is one of the very few games of its type that you can fail at.

The reason for my rating is simple. The game just grinds to the point of being boring. The UI and point mechanic is top notch and I love the virtual iPhone idea. It is just that this game seems more focused on that than actually giving my a reason to want to play it.

A potentially good game that just ruins itself with hours and hours of tedious clicking, redoing events over and over to just to tick up stats only find yourself blocked and gated behind obscure events that only happen once per week at a specific place and time.
The upside are the CG's and animations; the downside is everything else.

Seriously, without a walkthrough, after roughly 9 hours of gameplay (56 ingame days) I've unlocked 3 blowjob scenes and 1 handjob, and there just hasn't been any interesting narrative or fun exploration to tie it all together.

This isn't Dark Souls; there's no git'n gud here. Finding the right event with the right timing should lead narratively into the NEXT event, it shouldn't need to be repeated another 5-10 pointless times while being puzzled into a daily/weekly schedule of equally pointless, grindy tasks for the other half-dozen active characters.

Or if you absolutely HAVE to have repeat a task, then at least give it new dialogue for each of those repeats... You know that trope in RPG's where characters will start repeating themselves -after- all their active tasks are completed? There's a reason that exists. When you just repeat yourself regardless of the activity, you're not encouraging or teaching the player anything.

I love it because of the turn of the situations. The graphic is great and the girls looks hot and beutiful. I hope of more updates.
The story is okay. You have to build relationships and not right after a word of sex.

this game is in my top 3 games I played on this site, the characters are cool and fetishes very exciting, the control susteme with the phone is very nice and in addition the game is translated into several languages (french in my case) so I just love it

Very good varied charcters, loved Veronica especially.
Eahc has thier own personaility likes and dislikes, date minigame it fun and its not the same causing you to pay attention to what has been said / expressions.
only downside is thet unlike RenPy games using the dialog skip will keep skipping through new scenes so you have to be careful

This is by far the best game on F95 right now. It has all the elements you need for a great adult game. It has many fetishes and a great story. The graphics are great and Faerin has started to include animations that only get better with each release. He also doesn't overdo the animations but relies mostly on graphic pics to visually tell the story. He has come up with a great hint system to give you direction as you work through each version. This has allowed him to no longer need a walkthrough that needs to be updated for every new version and then waiting for someone to update it. The hints lead you through each step of your journey. To repeat this is the best game on F95 right now. Oh, there is also few bugs or faerin takes care of them quickly.

This is one of the best games i have played the characters are great and so is the art i can see some may think it is a little grindy but it is worth it.

Art 9.5/10
Characters 10/10
Sex 8.5/10
Story 8.5/10

6/16/20
Just beat the game and it is deserving of the 5 star rating the only minor issue is should have one more ending with all the family including the aunt and the two sisters friends.
The new scores are
Renders. 9.5/10
Characters. 10/10
Sex. 9.5/10
Story. 8.5/10

Pros:
- CG
Cons:
- freezing
- bugs from previous releases
- tons of grind
- stupid waiting on map
- extra clicks (empty unused locations like an elevator)
No fun for now. This game unplayable without cheats and walkthrough.

It's a beautiful game and has an interesting concept. Some of the story arcs are great and well thought out. I love the taming of veronica, and ashley's cheesy love tale. But it feels way too spread out and expects you to grind your ass off playing it. Perhaps if it was made slightly more linear and had hints or something it could be straightened out. Also I finally had to regress and use the cheats because I was stuck on the mom storyline. I could not get her to accept doing yoga with me alone.
All in all it's a solid game and cannot wait to see it more fleshed out and with less of a grind. Could be great.

One of the nice games here. Very pleasing visually, very refined interface. Models are a bit standard with huge asses, but that is what the author likes apparently. The only drawback I found is the grinding. It's a bit too much for me. The main reason is that the events needed to progress further on the story are bound to certain time of day. So if you go to the shower at 19:30 you hit jackpot, but if you go at 19:45 - nothing happens. However the maker has provided a very convinient cheat menu. You can skip half of the grinding that way. Some options are a bit illogical and this requires you to click every option possible several times. Even the hints embedded in your phone are not very helpfull sometimes... Which also annoys me a little. I'm hopin that he will add more events and stuff to do, placess to visit which will make grinding look less obvious.

Beware of my retarted english. Based on 0.6.6 since that's the last one which i finished.

One of my first games, i've started checking it since early development stages. Used to by one of my favourites back then, but not anymore. There is such a big potential here, but it's killed by things i will describe later.

The renders are really good, and most of characters looks very well. I don't like only Claire and aunt models (didn't really seen second one in game, only in game thread). Blonde girl from the gym should become secondary character, she looks awesome. I like most of characters, and their interctions, but the story itself is modiocre at best. There are events, but honestly, i feel that the amount of story is way too low. I would like to see more dialogues and backstory.

So why i don't really like this game, like i used to?

Mostly because of mechanics. Something that was fun at the beginning, and when game was smaller turned into something really annoing later. I realized that on my second playthrough, around version 0.6.

Micromanagement became really annoing, that now i can't imagine playing without cheats. There is too much grind also, you must usually repeat everything five times to progress, and see another repeatable scene, which you need repeat another few times too progress. It wasn't problem at the beginning, but after some time it becomes really boring and even with cheats i ended at point when i don't want to play anymore.

Another thing, which probably is not a big problem anymore, because there is ingame walkthrough now. When i played last time it was implemented only for Ashley if i good remember. But this game earlier was almost unplayable without walkthrough, you could spend way too much time searching for events.

Next thing is, that dev don't really like to progress with secondary characters. How long people who liked police gal waited for second encounter with her? I don't know, cause i don't really care about her, but too long for sure. My favourite character was supposed to have some new scenes in todays release, but after five months of waiting, i don't really care anymore, and i don't want to wait another five months for another event with her.

I can't recall another game which my opinion changed as much as with this one. It will probably change in the future as well, for better this time i hope. I've tried to play some of the last updates, but really i can't force myself to this. I shouldn't have give three stars for a game, which i don't want to play for now, but let it be handicap for future releases.

I will be back to this game, when i feel ready for this. So when i will forgot some of things, and when it will have lots of new updates. I' thinking about 0.8.1 for now, but it can be later.

[/Edit] I totally forgot about one thing.
Polls are usually occupied with mommys/milf content. Imo Claire is getting way too much content lately, when other gals are only getting small scenes. That's another reason why i stopped playing, she's ok, but still my least favourite character. Characters which won pool should have been removed from another 1-2 pools, to keep balance in the game. And in mom case, there is more and more of her and fans of other girls only get dog's-meat. I'm opponent of pools in general especially these with content. Dev need to know himself what to do next, and how to reconcile all elements, he will probably do it better without polls. Cause polls usually leads to inequalities and things that don't fits to the game.
