VN - Ren'Py - Abandoned - Midlife Crisis [v0.34 - v0.1 Dark] [Nefastus Games]

First off i need to start saying that i'm not a big fan of incest, incest with dad/daughter or brother/sister i find it ok because i don't have a sister nor am i a father, other then that i really don't like it.

Now about the game:
The renders are awfull
Sometimes, specially in early game people have their eyes so black that it feels like it's made of vantablack
MC shirt looks like it's made of rubber or some weird cloth for most of the time
I don't find anyone from this game atractive, most of them are just plain awfull, specially the youngest daughter, she looks like if michael jackson was a woman and had anorexia
The sex scenes are pretty bad, and when the dev tried to do an "animation" it was just cringe at best, never really played this game for the sex scenes
This game is pretty bugged when it comes to hair glitching out of a girl hair, or clothes entering the characters body's
It's fucking abandoned

So why am i giving it 5 stars?

Because this is one of the must fun games to play ever, you can feel the love that the author had for this game, this game has a shit ton of problems and the dev knows it and makes fun of it, i love the humor of this game and the break of the 4th wall, i like the writting and although the animations and sex scenes are mostly pretty vanilla (if you desconsider you're fucking your daughter) the writing makes up for it, i love how their relationships develops, it's kinda of a slow burning game in a sence of you actually fucking the girl, but there's A LOT of tease and honestly i like it, it's done is such a nice way, and although this game is abandoned it has a shit ton of content and i don't think it will leave the player desiring for much more, for me it's better it got abandoned as a good game rather then the dev forcing it to go on until it bacames bad.

So if you never played it or played it a while ago i highly recommend you give this game a chance, specially if you are into incest

I'm glad I didn't played the game before cause now I got lot of content. The game started as a normal middle MC game where he pervs his daughter. What makes this one different other these type of games is the writing. Renders are what you see in preview. There is no deep plot here. Your usual game where middle age MC builds his harem. But it's not a fuck fest from the start. It happened on slower pace there is teasings to set the mood.

This is the only game which offers this much wife Content. I likes to play wife route in these type of games. But a very few offers it. Most of the wife contents in other games are not wife things with sharing, cuckold, NTR. Or in other games wife is either dead/in coma/ divorcee/ a bitch. They mostly focuses on daddy daughter. Glad this one's not like that. This is the one of the few games which offers pregnancy before end game. Only didn't liked was loli content other than that I enjoyed the game. Loved how MC regained sexual fire in his wife. Threesomes are worth

Ofcourse at a certain point you get bored. Cause game only offers sex. After sex with a girl you moves to another girl. But there is a build up. Marked as abandoned maybe this one will revive. Even if it's revived I don't think this will get it's completion

Review of v0.34...

3 1/2 stars

Midlife Crisis is basically exactly as is sounds. MC is a middle aged man who owns a construction company entering a midlife crisis where he stops caring what others think and starts living for his own happiness.

There is no real overarching story. It's basically just a day to day "grind" developing relationships and exploring kinks. There is a lot of content though.

The writing is average. A bit too much narrative text in some places. There are also several spelling errors throughout. The script would have benefitted from an editor or a simple proofread.

Although the character models are a bit dated, I do like most of them. The only real character I have an issue with is Sandra (the wife). I think her body is horribly proportioned. Most of the other characters I think look good.

There is a lot of clipping in this game. Bodies clipping through clothes, hair clipping through basically everything, etc.

There are no animations and no sound design.

One of the reasons I dropped the rating was because of all of the fourth wall breaks the dev inserts into the game. Whenever there was an issue with setting up a scene the dev says he couldn't correct because he "ran out of time" (glossy shirts, bad lighting, shadowy eyes) the dev will add a fourth wall breaking note making light of the issue. There is also another instance of the dev not being able to get the texture on the MC's pants to work so the dev adds a fourth wall break to make light of that.

There are some instances where the women will walk around on their tip toes like they are walking in invisible heels and be hovering a few inches off the floor. This issue is more of a pet peeve of mine with these game.

On the plus side there is the potential for several instances of pregnancy and a developing harem.

I don't hate the game. In fact I look forward to it being completed. It can just get a little boring and feel like a slog sometimes. I won't recommend it, but I also won't tell people to stay away. This one is more of a find out for yourself.

This AVN has a very linear story revolving around a wealthy developer/real estate agent. The story is entertaining, but it very much wades into taboo content - be warned. There are lots of romance options and a harem is 100% possible. Check the tags on the post to look for types of content to make sure it is for you. My biggest complaint about the game is the low quality renders and lack of animations. With that said, I find the writing and story to be entertaining, but it is very much just about a rich dude with a huge penis that builds a harem of adoring women. Pretty much every woman in the story is a nymphomaniac, is fine with a harem, and obsessed with the MC. Occasionally, it's hard to be immersed given how easily everything works out for the MC. If you want lots of taboo sexual escapades with interesting dialog and character interactions, this is a good AVN to try out.

I love this one. You don't need characters that look like supermodels, who wouldn't give you the time of day in real life, to make an entertaining game/VN.

The characters all have their own personalities and little quirks and are all believable up to a point. Apart from the fact that the most suspicious looking ever MC gets all the pretty girls...

I really like the way the wife/mother (a MILF in every sense) allows herself to be 'corrupted.' She knows what's going on and wants it as much as the others but feels she has to play difficult to get. There's just enough resistance from her to add a bit of credibility without it getting annoying.

Full marks for entertainment value...

Honestly this game teeters on the 3-4 star range. If it was based solely on renders alone, easily 3 stars. But luckily the game has a lot more to offer than that.
To top it off, the game has a fuck-ton of content easily pushing pashed 6 hour mark (if you read everything). Which can be a good or bad thing.
Now to the story, as far as the current version 0.34, there is no story. Just non-stop people trying to fuck the MC. Which I just find hilarious due to his render not being great (IMO).
The reason why I gave this a 4 star is due to the MC. To me, he has the best dialogue. Not to say he also doesn't have any bad dialogue either, especially when it comes to the corruption of his wife, just felt off to me.
The game also has very little to zero animations. It teases it for the first few sex scenes, disappears, comes back with some full sex animation, then it just straight up vanishes completely.
Also you really don't get much of a choice in the harem part, if you want nothing to due with your daughters, the game will constantly throw them back at you, even if you decline their advances. Same with some other side-chicks who you clearly turned down before hand.
This story does offer a lot of different fetishes, best part you can choose to ignore or accept them.

I think this is a 4 star game.

I was tempted to give it less, but the game has so much damn content it's crazy.

For context I played the game for around 6 hours and got bored and stopped and I don't plan on playing it again.

Pros:
- Tons of content
- Lots of sex scenes
- Decent story telling
- Multiple fetishes

Cons:
- Porn logic everywhere. Like every girl finds the middle age MC so hot and they all want to bang him. I get putting some porn logic into your game but it just took me out of the game and had me rolling my eyes after a while.
-Heavily incest based. I''m not an incest fan but if it's done well it can be hot. In this case, the game just has your 2 daughters wanting to tease and fuck their dad basically from the beginning of the game. Just kind of gross to me.
- Renders are not great

Overall, if your looking for an incest fuck fest with a lot of fetishes and porn logic, this is your game.

If you're looking for a more grounded story with well done corruption, look elsewhere. Not worth the time.

This is for v0.33

HOLY MOTHER OF SLUTS this game is good and looooooooooooong but in a good way.

Like, I don't rate games as 5 stars that often, but this game really earned it.
It's funny, it's hot, it's got good pacing, it's got all sorts of paths you can take, and it has so much good content.

Really, I feel like I can't say much more than the hundred plus other reviews have already said, so I'll keep it short.

Definitely try this game, it is well worth the time, even if you only play a little every now and then.

I've been fapping to this game consistently for months now and I'm still enjoying it.

Top-shelf charisma, smoldering eroticism, and some of the most endearing characters in the genre, what's not to love here. Also the dad humor, chef's kiss.

Steve (MC) is a wholesome dad who improbably converts his marriage into an open-ended harem arrangement, optionally with swinging, threesomes, and a wide array of kinks that opens up as the game progresses. There are at least 100 well-written H-scenes in this game with little downtime between them. Amazingly, this setup also provides a significant amount of development for each of the characters. It's a perfect balance of smut and story.

As for the emotional dynamic, it's a mix of genuine heroism (Jennifer route), above-board swinging (Marie), questionable swinging (Angela), improbably well-received deception (Sandra), good-natured psychopathic creeping (Christine, Amanda), age-inappropriate dating (Sarah), and good-natured, 100% problematic grooming (Hailey, Justine). I use the term "good-natured" because everyone is on board and it's written as a fun time for all involved, but in any sane world Steve winds up either in prison or dead; lust itself is the only character with any real agency in this game, something Steve is willing to celebrate and encourage. This is a corruption game written from the perspective of the world's most charming psychopath, and honestly it does feel wholesome even though it really isn't.

To be fair to Steve, the girls don't make sense as real people either; they've been carefully idealized while being as believable as possible. None of them has any real needs, long-term jealousy, or life plans; everyone lives in the moment and enjoys it. Midlife Crisis is a snapshot in the blissful year of sexual debauchery before everyone gets pregnant and you have a dozen screaming infants to raise.

Steve isn't a good guy but midlife crises aren't good events. It's a great setting to explore what pure desire looks like if the consequences don't matter. And Steve's rationalizations do apply if you don't think about the long term: everyone's having a blast. This game makes a midlife crisis into a party, and I'm there for it.

Amazing game, top 5 for me, can't wait for the next update. (Courteous mod is recommended for more content, even if you're on Sandra romance path.)

THIS! THIS IS THE BEST GAME ON THIS SITE, A ROLE MODEL FOR WHAT EVERY OTHER SEX GAME SHOULD ASPIRE TO BE!!!

Forget the character development, story building, world building and all that, that is not important in a sex game. All a sex game needs to do is get you of! And this game does it wonderfully, with an average of 5 faps per update. It is a miracle arisen from the plethora of games trying to create both a game and porn at the same time failing again and again in both.

And even when it does not aim for character development they are all still likable! And while the art is not that great it does not mater!!!

I SALUTE THE DAD JOKES AND MUSIC REFERENCES I DO NOT UNDERSTAND!!!

im not going to talk too much because there's nothing more i can say other than its a freaking FANTASTIC game .. and if there a 7 stars there i would of give it to it because 5 is not enough .. i cannot imagine how any one could dislike this game .. but hear is all i can say in conclusion :
bad ----------------------- ok --------------------- good -------------------- excellent

story :
conversations :
graphics :
sexy models :
thrill :
sex content :
typos :
excitement :
side girls :
NTR :
fetishes :
choices :
humor :

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
favorite characters :
Amanda - Stephani - Sarah - Angela - Hailey

Sandra , Erika & maria are ok .. but not favorites

best events : party night with sister & the girls until the bed time - Amanda watching her dad fucking her mother while she is blindfolded & when he jerks off

dislike :
- Christine ( skinny as a skeleton & always looking depressed even when she is fine )
- Jennifer ( looks like a lady - boy .. too masculine & i always feel like if i removed her pantie im gonna be surprised by discovering a hidden cock there some how )
- narrator ( he talks way to much in the sex scenes with over do details that is stretching the scene to long .. i almost lost focusing in the visual scene by being busy reading the project that the narrator has to say .. so i end up skipping the narrator & only kept the conversation between the characters & i was still able to understand all what is going on without the narrator bugging me .. its simple )
- to many peeking & checking outs ( again & again almost every 5 minutes .. until it gets annoying ) its still the same flat ass & same tiny boobs that you peeked 100s of times before already .. nothing new or changed
- mentioning the age all the time - seriously they keep flexing their ages in unnecessary moments .. realistically i never saw people walking around going like ( oh you would like your 16 years old daughter to do the home work ? ohh you like it when your 55 years old grand pa giving you a candy ? oh you like watching your 25 years old friend dancing ? ) like .. are they out of their minds !! its not like im gonna fuck their ID info .. her pussy is actually located between her legs .. not in her birthday number ,, so knock it off .. its so cringy
- less side characters : the side girls are very important for keeping the player entertained while he is not with the main girls .. for a game that is 5 gb it should have at least 20+ girls .. other wise you will end up going around in circle visiting the same rooms with the same few girls .. fucking them over & over again until the end .. after done 50% of the game .. every thing started to get repetitive .. same routine .. same faces .. all that because its lacking extra side girls .. as if the MC is not interested in going out & meeting new people .. there's some events happening here & there like the gymnastic event which has many new girls around .. but you are still stuck with the same main girls & ended up talking to Jennifer , sister & niece which you fucked already many times .. even when you meet a beautiful waiter in the restaurant the Dev decide that she should be ignored .. & instead you went to talk to Erika ( AGAIN ) !! how about new girls , new faces pls .. the waiter was there .. already there ,, why should i ignore her & go flirt with Erika again ?
- sweet talking all girls like a simp in the beginning of every single scene ( its getting old ) :
hello my lovely & best girl in the world - ohh !! how beautiful you are - God !! how amazing you look - woow they are such an Angels ..
enough already .. some times he should start the scene by saying hi or good morning only instead .. without being madly impressed by their magical beauty every single time .. its kinda boring & waste of time reading that repetitively

yep that's all

This might be my all time favorite game on this site. I like the fact that non of the characters are portrayed as assholes you have to compete against. I believe there is a path where you can act estranged with your wife, but the path that has the father just loving everyone and making his wife a part of it is so well done. It's a very nice change of pace from the sea of games where the son takes everything and the father is either absent or an asshole.

Really awful cliche game that´s just boring.

The character are all just the standart stereotypes of porn game that you see everywhere nothing special or interesting.

The models are also very outdated and look ugly, in the beginning it´s a lot worse but it only gets a little better which isn´t enough.

The story is badly written and is just boring, I really hate how easy the girls are attracted to the MC, he looks old and ugly which I think is good because it´s called Midlife Crisis but the characters don´t see him that way, it wouldn´t really change anything if the MC was replaced with a Teenager and have it be instead of Wife "stepdaughters" be "Stepmom" and "Roomates" which is abig problem because I wanted it to feel like I actually played a man in his Midlive Crisis which I didn´t at all.

The sex scenes are awful, the animations look so bad that I didn´t have any joy when they I saw them.

The gameplay should be simple, some choices nothing more but even that feels bad because there are a lot of choices and many don´t really matter but even that I wouldn´t mind too much but what I do mind is the many many choices which are just "peek" "look at" "stare" some are fine but there are so many, I was really annoyed.

And to top it off no music and sound effects which makes everything feel cheap.

I don´t recommend it at all except if you never ever played a porn game then it´s fine.

I dont know why, but i feel so wholesome after playing this story, meaby i have midlife crisis Scenes are so good, i like teasing, like story and the choices matters but its not like you have to play it multiple times to get most of happenings. Someone really put heart into this 10/10

Well
the art is so bad that leaves a permanent bad, bad taste for everything.
No real choices at all.
Yep, you cant choose sh1t in this game. your choices have no meaning
after a wille you are back in square one in your relations. Sad...
I was really disappointed with this VN ,i was expecting to get better over time , but got even worst !

I really love this game. First off, the main game is an excellent slow burn harem game. I love the routes with every single LI and really feel like the moment the MC finally gets to have sex with them is earned and fulfilling. Also while it is a slow burn, it's not something that is dragged out too long to the point where it felt like it was just trying to make the game longer. Of course, there are little nitpicks I could point out here and there, but none of them are big enough to earn losing a star. I particularly loved the storyline with Jennifer.
Of all the games I am playing, this is the one I hope gets an actual planned ending that is not rushed. Now I know I praised the above storyline, but all the others also were really captivating and made me really invested in the story and the characters. Great job dev!

Also trying the alternate dark route was amazing. I really love the way that is heading and hope that it will continue. Of course if the dev has to finish or spend more time on the main game first, that's fine by me. I just hope that this also eventually gets worked on. The only thing I would have to say about the dark route is that, it really takes me out of the game when I realize that there is only the illusion of choice. There are so many times when you are given a choice and no matter what you choose it does the same thing. Also there is one time where there are two choices but the both say the same thing. I really appreciate all the work the dev has done and really love this game, but this is just a terrible and misleading thing to do in a game. Again, if you're going to actually work on this game in the future please put in actual choices that go in different routes or just make the story go the way you want it to without making us choose something that is only an illusion.
All in all the main game is an amazing slow burn story that drew me into the different routes. The dark storyline has a very promising start that, if continued, just needs a change here or there to be just as good as the main.

Big fan of the dark mc alternate story
Frankly, I say start a new one with updated models with the dark path as an option.

The regular story is the good old mid age dad realises something about life and decides to start a harem with every woman he comes to contact with. Normal stuff really, happens every day im pretty sure.

It is quite wholesome in a messed up way, with the corruption aspect of characters coming to accept this kind of harem situation. It is a bit of a slow burn though so it takes a long time to get going, but then again you cant rush family harem situations. If your wife just says: "ok husbando please sex the daughters" it just gets weird. You gotta ease into it and i think this does it well.

Biggest problem? The render. They are... odd looking. The writing is good, but yeah the way the renders and models actually look is quite unfortunate. But I guess thats just how it goes you can have at most 2 of 3 options. Regular updates, pretty renders or good writing. Good writing and regular updates are here but the renders are what they are. Again, I say end it rush it if you must and move on to newer character models. Work on the renders? Idk, but In the long run I believe it would be the best

Love the character designs and the romance between the MC and the older gymnast girl has been really enjoyable. Wish the Tracy content didn't limit the scenes with the "Pro" girl but glad you can still bring her in with the wife so you don't miss out on her completely. Enjoying the pregnancy storyline and hope there are more to come. Would like to see MC with a new girl that pushed for a more extreme style of RP (as I don't see the mc doing anything evil) and can't wait for more of the girls to join each other with the MC.

This is probably the best game on this website when it comes to writing and banter (mad mad banter).

The dev should team up with people who know how to make animations and good-looking models and they'd be selling these games like hotcakes.

Ratings you ask? 11/10.

Edit: Renders and animations do get a lot better...not top notch but still good enough.

I kind of love this game. The whole thing is one big fantasy as way more VN's should be, it's not realistic at all but that's what makes it great. Sex scene after sex scene with decent dialogue/mild humor inbetween. Was way longer than I ever expected it to be. The images/animations are sometimes terrible but got slightly better as the game progressed. There are a fair amount of choices in the game mostly to include or exclude seeing scenes you're interested in. I played through it in 3 nights corrupting the wife and it delivered. I've had this VN bookmarked for probably 2 years and i'm glad I didn't delete it, pretty sure it said abandoned at one point. Even if it was abandoned immediately after posting this review i'd recommend it. GL to the dev and I hope to see more. P.S. not much pregnancy content, lots of pregnancy teasing and as far as i'm aware you can get one girl confirmed pregnant (not visibly)
