Man of the House, AKA Grind Your Dick on the Keyboard, is a nice-looking game with decent UI features and an interesting enough plot. I was excited to play a game that was tagged “Completed” because I grew tired of the unenthusiastic hand jobs much of the “in progress” titles provide. There is a trend of “fluff” content, as a friend puts it, that creates pointless progression stalls in games. Raise your hand if every woman you’ve slept with was staged in gradual progressions of kissing, fingering, hand job, blow job, just the tip, kinda fucking, then fucking in one position. Anyone?
Sure, sometimes it’s a process, but once the tip goes it... it’s game on. It’s remarkable how many games follow this pattern, providing the lamest sexual experience possible. It’s a porn FANTASY game for fuck’s sake. The obvious conclusion is that game makers are trying to “fish hook” players into a monthly Patreon sub while they develop the game. I get it. These games take a lot of time and money to produce, but if you would just make a good game, people would pay. I know I would.
Man of the House is a total grind fest in a profoundly time dependent “shit box” (a sand box the creator defecated in). I played this game for hours, trying to put the MC’s dick in something. Once I realized I was getting no where fast, I started using cheats. Let me tell you, cheating didn’t make one bit of difference. The whole game is on rails, regardless of the sandbox tag, because events happen over time. No amount of money, items, or player stats make a difference. The only useful cheat is the “unlock the scenes” option, but that busts the entire story. The story isn’t bad, don’t get me wrong, but the developer ruined it with the excessive grind and linier game play. In the end, I gave up and walked away. This is exactly why I tend to stick with Renpy games, because I can mod them to my liking with little effort.
I would not recommend this game to anyone, other than those that enjoy “edging” because the content is wildly imbalanced.
