Overall
Good story with good characters makes for an interesting VN. The humor is on point throughout, and isn't overbearing. Glad to see a MC that not only develops mentally but physically during this adventure. I recommend giving this one a play through. Keep up the good work

I love the humor probably the most. The story humor is good, but the fact that the writer also makes fun of the scenes made me laugh just as hard, and kept scenes light hearted. They made fun of the fact they jumped in water yet there hair didnt get wet; instead of letting it break the immersion like is has done in several other games, they put a spotlight on it and made fun of it themselves, kudos.

The art is good, script is great. I really liked the different personalities and body types, to include trans - with the option to not see it. I like the attention to detail you rarely see, like stretch marks on mom from giving birth.

It all adds up to being immersive, like it could really happen even though you know it is a fantasy - 5 stars just for that.

Animations could be better, and more of them. The scenes are great, put together well, I just get disappointed not seeing the animations to top off a hot scene, or worse a poor animation in a hot scene,

More head and eye movements during conversations would be good too. I like the different perspectives during a conversation, but sometimes just the tilt of the head, or a half hug, or something less jarring is just as good, depends of the underlying tensions - etc.

I like the interruptions of near awesome new perverted things, it adds a bit of humor and suspense, did he get caught? That type of thing. I think it has happened 2-3 times so far, always caught me off guard.

The story is pretty typical, but it is displayed in a fun and sexy way. Just goes to show you dont need a great story to make a great game... if you have a good writer.

I cant wait to see what gets added next, definitely on my watch list.

Thanks for sharing your hard work.

Story/ 4 - 10 The usual harem game, with wife and daughters and such. Nothing new, imaginative or particularly interesting.

Renders / 1 - 10 The renders are absolutely horrible, up until this game i have not seen such poorly done renders, they are almost abstract. Models lighting are quite bad.

Grammar/ 5 - 10 Not the worst i have seen, there are spelling and grammar errors that should be corrected.

Amount of content/ 5- 10 There is quite a bit of content and updates are not are out within reasonable time.

Animations/ 1- 10 The usual cheap 2 second sex animations, with the state of the renders makes them even worse. Some devs actually put effort into the sex scenes trying to allow for a sense of realism. Not so in this story/game, they are extremely short, two second foreplay then two second sex, boring and cheap.

Over all there is no reason to play it twice, or play it at all. You can see by the samples that the renders are horrible, and the story itself is so commonplace there is nothing that sets it apart. Unless you have a thing for extremely bad graphics and renders.
The whole story/game should be redone with better everything, because that is only way this one would even be semi interesting.

Its honestly easy to not give 5 stars to this game, story isnt incredible, renders are just average, "animations" are bad... What this game excels at is characters. Almost all the girls are gorgeous and they all are unique, im usually not into harem games, they usually are all childish and boring, but this one just works. The humor, the (future?) kinks like sharing (hopefully not just mff stuff and some other men included) just keep it fresh for me. Hopefully dev, after you deliver your story, you'll be able to revamp the game with 2020 quality renders and animations and this will be my all time favourite game no doubts.

This is a fun game with dad jokes. There's a decent amount of scenes and variety. Players can choose which women to pursue, and there doesn't seem to be any negative consequence for building a harem. The wife can be gradually included, too.

The art is ok and improves over time. This game delivers fairly consistently with each update, usually at least a couple scenes.

The game has serious issues with lighting, and some seams showing here and there, some blackscreens wiht only text, some missing textures (making a joke about it doesnt make it look less lazy)
The youngest daughter looks like a cocaine junkie and the older one, looks like michael Jackson under the sun.
Constant 4th wall breakings taling about game planning, or textures issues, or warning about decisions...

No matter how many times you Reject jennifer you still are prompted to do stuff with her, rescue her and things, and dialogue is still favourable to her, in kind of a love interest way, its like she is hardcoded.

The teasing is beyond overused and abused, combined with the interruptions thing make the writing part drop massively in quality, which for me really affects how i feel while i play the game. At some point i stop enjoying, cause the game with this constant teasing-interruption sequence trains your brain to not expect anything happening. First 10 times, there is still some spark, after that the game abandons porn category, the weather lady may have more effect on my penis that the game.

Seriously devs need to make a meet and greet brainstorm between them and come with ideas on how to stop things moving forward when scenes get too heated.

Devs should create a pool of situations to use, Cause most of them use the "someone comes in" or "someone has something very urgent to tell you" or the "selfconscious triumph card" or all of the above followed by bullshit sweet talk/silver tongue. I Cringe more and more every time.

This game in particular abuses those mechanics, SO MUCH regardless of narrative or the charatcer arc states, tht eventually kills the expectations, and the game becomes predictable for the bad. When some scene happens, you didnt anticipate it, since furthermore there is no much buildup, and you dont get to enjoy it.

I i play a porn game with my dick sleeping, i can not rate it high

The plot is too unreasonable.
MC is a middle-aged man with a beer belly and no power, just a little money.
Such conditions can make all women want to fuck MC? Even two daughters?

And even if MC chooses not to flirt with the two daughters from start to finish, but the plot still forces MC to fuck them, the freedom of the game is very low, and it feels bad.

The daughters are so ugly compared to their friends. Especially the little girl is uglier and has a skinny body. Why does the plot have to force MC to fuck them?

Although the plot is long, every sex scene is very short.
In the game, the redhead is the only character I like, and the other characters are not attractive.

Average game at best, doesn't deserve 5 star. Another game that plays out like a 12 year old wrote it, bad for even an 'Adult game'. The girl with black hair has the weirdest rendered face ever. Just meh game, loads of boring text.

I would rate this game five stars for Jen alone, that's how much I'm in love with her character, but this game is getting a five star rating from me for so many reasons beyond just her. The MC is pretty much my spirit animal at this point. The absolute greatest thing about him? He doesn't need to be a rapist douchebag or a mind controlling prick. He just needs to be his witty, charming, funny self. He truly loves all of the girls, based on how you play, and he absolutely will not hesitate to put it all on the line to prove it to them. That's awesome.

The wife, while not my cup of tea, isn't even that bad and she's the character I like the LEAST aside from two absolute wastes of human space I'll rage against later in this review. It's very difficult for me to not either hate a character or love one. Usually there is very little middle ground. Sandra toes that middle ground perfectly. I don't hate her, she's actually pretty cool, just not my cup of tea personally.

The daughters are perfect, I wouldn't change a thing about them. Except maybe make them kiss more

The readheaded hellcat the dev is so fond of? Fucking awesome. She's spunky, sassy and not afraid to go for what she wants, but she's also got a softer side to her and turning her game back onto her shows that she truly wants it, it's not a game to her anymore, which is fucking perfect. She loves to be pursued, but if she wants you? She will pursue you relentlessly.

Jen... She's literal perfection. I love everything about her, and if I met her in real life? I'd be head over heels in love with her in seconds. I wanna put a ring on that so bad it's not even funny. The two wastes of space I mentioned before? They're this beauty's parents, and I can honestly say, that what happens to them? It's not enough. They need to suffer more. Period. Especially that loathsome, foul, miserable little cockroach of a sperm donor.

Your secretary? Hands down brotp, not even a second was needed to figure that one out. they work best as friends that flirt all the time, but never get intimate, at least imo. They're the ultimate wingman/wingwoman duo, like Garrus/Shepard or Wrex/Shepard levels of Brotp.

The prostitue you're friends with? Another Brotp, though not quite to the level of the secretary.

The prostitutes niece? Literally has everything I've ever wanted to see in a trans relationship depicted in a porn game, and you're able to wall it off if that's not your thing, but she is most definitely mine.

Your sister and your spunky niece? Both are wife material, period. If it wasn't for the divinity that is Jen existing I would want these two over all others, hands down. Though, the smartass sassy daughter is also in the top 5. Jen just trumps them all IMO.

Rock? Don't judge by his appearance, this dude and his husband are bros for life. Period. What he does for you and another character? Nothing can replace loyalty like that. This dude is the man, period.

The dev of this game has created a masterpiece and from what i know so far, he isn't even close to being finished with it. This is a world I would live in, this is a world I will escape to, constantly, when IRL gets to be too much to deal with and I need a place to go that will restore my faith in humanity.

TL;DR: This game is absolutely worth playing. It earns it's five stars so effortlessly that I honestly wonder how it's creator isn't a professional game dev. ( Actually not true, I know why, no porn ) But jokes aside? Absolutely give this man your support, rather it be through Patreon or just spreading the word about this lovely game, he's earned it.

This is one of my favorite games, hands down.

The writing is quirky and sometimes cheesy, but that is who the MC is. He's a dad-type, with dad-jokes, embarrassing the females at times, angering them at others while he goes through his midlife crisis.

There are so many options, so many paths to go down, but at the same time keeps itself linear. The futa path is, IMHO, one of the two best I have ever found on F95 or anywhere else, and if it isn't your thing, is completely avoidable. Decisions are everywhere, and some can make some drastic differences to how everyone reacts to you, and it's always morphing. In the beginning, for instance, you can choose to have a rough relationship with your wife, but as time goes on, it can become something deeper and enjoyable, more than muttering 'bitch' under your breath all the time.

Additionally, it has something for just about everyone. Harem, swingers, voyeurism, big breasts, small breasts... sure, there's some stuff that isn't there, but the game is expanding and evolving, and the creator seems open to suggestions and helping flesh out the story more from patreons and others.

Give it a shot. Nefastus has really got something here.

Very good game, with great renders and plenty of options.
My first play through I tried to be faithful to my wife, so little to no sex with any othe character but it was still fun, then I convinced her for an open relationship and had fun with everyone.

Second playthrough I just went for everyone and couldn't believe how much I actually missed the first time round.

Lot of content for a 0.20 and can't wait to see where it goes.
Good story in the first half but it seems to be pulled back abit in the second so I hope it picks up again in the third

So far this game has been great, wish the mother was better looking but a great game all the same. It has a little of everything you could want so far. The story is so so at first but gets better over time. The charactars are great and its not full of useless story to fill updates with in order to put updates out. It gets right to the point and dosnt beat around the bush about what the game is. Id say my favorite part is that the game dosnt have all that useless game building you see in all the vn so far, making this game simple and sweet. there is room for better content, but to tell the truth i havent played the game all the way through yet, but plan on soon. im sure ive made it half way through .20 build/update. So far tho loving it.

Cool and cute story, epic variety of nice girls.
That's like VN should be crafted.

In terms of visuals, quality is not best, maybe. But overall CGI is really cute too, and picture is not "I see same at X VN before".

Сharming game

The art/models weren't my favorites although the quality does seem to be increasing as the story goes along. The characters are fun and there hasn't been much in the game that bothered me as a player. I enjoyed it enough to become a patron, I'd like to see the developers making good games continue their work.

It is a good game. Renders are getting nice in the beginning of the game they are not so nice. The older protag is interesting something new I like that you can choose your wife or you can cheat or you can play your cards good and try seduce all the girls.

I've played the game (android version) and I must say I'm very pleased with it. I'm also going through what you can call a MidLife crisis, and I feel like you really have captured the essence of it. I removed one stars cause when compared to other games I play, I must say the graphics are a little less, but after like 1-2 hours of play I got accustomed to it and it did not bother me so much. Keep up the good work, this is a really enjoyable game and I hope you will continue with it ! Great job

1/ I'm sucker for incest games, especially father-daughter
2/ the models are very distinct and have distinct different characters, wants and needs
3/ the action is plenty full but not without built up
4/ no matter what you like, there should be at least one woman/girl that takes your fancy, and yes, you'll bed her
5/ i'm not into trap but it's an option for those that do
6/ ntr is hinted out but again it seems it will be an option for those that do
7/ regular updates

one negative, it started in 2018 and still hasn't worked it's way to a conclusion, so in the beginning it did take a long while before things got interesting but now ... now it's full speed ahead and then some

This is a surprisingly good DILF game, despite some low-quality early renders (the shabby main photo is not indicative of how good this game is).

The MC is like a "cool dad" who is a surprising ladies man and hits it off with everyone he comes across. He even gets into shape during the story. And the build-up with the main characters is longer and tantalizing, while some of the more minor characters share fiery moments of passion with the MC.

I think the story is at a breaking point in terms of the harem aspect, as I'm curious whether the MC will just openly take all the women for himself or be forced to choose at one point. Either way, the flirting, the build-up, and the sexy scenarios are what make this game work.

Absolutly loving this game. We have VN with lovely characters and intresting story. Sex scenes is good and I absolutly love those creampies :3
We have Milf, Readhead, fitgirl and many others, wink-wink.
Realationships is actualy nice, we have place for romance and love and not just punched into face with porn.

This is a very fun, naughty game. The characters are all very interesting and the interactions you can get are so entertaining. Probably my favorite part is that the paths you can take are readily apparent when choices are given and the fun the writers have with the fourth wall.
