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

[Cartageno]

Nah, I gave up on the game because I was annoyed that the MC was too much of a man-child. Came to see if it got any better and it sounds like it doesn't.

Yap, probably not gonna happen. After all the theme of the game is MidlifeCrisis, and that makes people turn into man-childs or similar, after all, gotta show the world - and myself especially - that I am still young and can compete with all those 20-yos. Maybe the specific way is indeed a bit unique, but can't have a midlife crisis with a completely normal acting settled man ...

I'm already waiting for the developer to cry, MLC for me stopped at 31 and there it ended, nothing came after. A push of lines that many certainly didn't want, and other abandoned lines. It is boring and lost.

And you made zero sense with this post.........

Also, it usually doesn't garner you much support when you use phrases like "that many certainly didn't want", it makes you sound a little douchy when you try to speak for other people........

A little?
If someone wrung him out like a cloth the streets would be flooded with shit!

I was trying to be polite (i was trying something new )

most unrealistic game I have seen with such an high rating
characters legit act as if MC was an attractive man in his mid 30s like I have seen in many other games but here he's the very definition of a 50 yo dad lol
people must be playing drunk to not even mention this once.

Yepp, that's why we play these VN's.......realism..........

Ever think that maybe many of us are in that age range and like a fantasy where we get all the girls?

Why should I mention this? This is the whole point of the game, this is a given when you are here. It's like asking people playing "Furry Fantasy" why they don't mention all the body hair ...

you are missing the point.

No sir, you are missing the point. You are complaining about a game getting a high rating and then mention as negatives (as perceived by you) the basic premise of the whole game. Well, not liking the premise is okay, but that shouldn't affect ratings, those need to be on how well a game delivers on what it promises - and this one does.

MC having a "successful" midlife crisis in that the girls fall for him is the point of the game. It is a silly point but it is a silly game and it is supposed to be silly. Complaining that the silliness is unrealistic because girls wouldn't be interested in an ugly old guy (which by the way is not always true either, especially if said guy had money like our guy has) is missing the point because at no point did anybody try to make this a realistic game.

I appreciate the slightly more elaborate answer. While playing the first hour or so, to me it always seemed like the game was taking itself quite seriously, no funny remark after making the player know that MC has the free to stare at my tits pass cuz why not or anything of the sort. But I guess I have approached the game with a wrong interpretation.

I think you need to choose a better translation application or write more clearly in your native language into the application because most of what you have written is a mess. Try deepl.com, and I would recommend posting both in your native language and the English translation... just in case.

OH MY GAWD!!!!! MY PORN GAME PROTAGONIST GETS ALL THE GIRLS!!!!!! IT'S SO UNREALISTIC!!!!!!

Dude, do you understand the premise of porn? I mean, look at the games on this site, and how many of them are in any way grounded in reality? Incest porn? Super powers? Mind control? FURRIES FOR FUCKS SAKE????? A midlife crisis (the name of the game, after all) doesn't typically start until the 40's, for most men who go through it. If he were fifty he'd have a lot more gray hair, and given the age of his daughters (you know, the ones away for college so their rooms are available for their "tenants"), mid forties sounds about right.

I mean, if you are into orgasm denial and humiliation, I'm not gonna kink shame you, but I like when girls who are out of my league fawn over me. Kind of the whole point behind porn, for most of us.

I'm just hoping we see some Justine and Meredith soon.

Why is it that whenever someone wants to say "I like/didn't like", "I want/didn't want", "I love/hate" people always talk in plural. As if "they represent" the views of many.

First, most likely, you dont.
Second, even if you do, no one cares.

Game is kind of like a parody way more than a realistic setting... so asking for realism seems like a moot point. If not simply absurd.

Agreed - and Mary from the gymnastics meet - I'm thinking she's Haley's friend with all the vibrators, and anyone Jennifer is calling a "hussy" is someone I want to spend time with!!!!

I always thought the normal version of the game was supposed to be dark, is the dark version that much darker? (I havent played the original by the way, though seeing the tags I thought it was still dark).

The Original VN is kinda lighthearted, the MC is an easy/cringe/funny guy who one day wakes up and start to desire/chasing every female in his surrounding.
The Dark Version is a different scene from one that is already in the VN. He kinda forces himself on his daughters friend and herself until they give in and don't resist anymore. It is a bit dark, but very bearable i would say.

I don't think the original game is dark at all. I wouldn't know which tags gave you the impression that it is. The "rape" tag is there for one scene most players will miss (because it includes a decision hardly any player will make without a walkthrough in my guesses) which isn't especially graphic and does not include MC or any of his LIs.

There is a bit of darkness (okay, some) in the family backstory of one of the girls, but that gets resolved pretty quickly.

If you consider the "Corruption" tag as indicative of possible darkness and secret manipulation, well, I wouldn't even know what that is doing here. There's not really much corrupting going on since basically everybody is a pervert from day one to some degree.

I agree that this game is mostly light hearted, with silly jokes, silly karaoke (you will miss out on some fun if you don't know some of the greater hits of the last century). The discussion above about how much of a bumbling oaf really is versus playing it should also give a hint that it is not entirely serious.

If you have any particular tags you fear, share them with us (after all, sharing is a tag for this game - well, swinging, close enough) so we can put your worries about it to rest.

Corruption's probably for the wife. Can't remember her name off the top of my head but the niece does quite a number on her sensibilities if I remember
Pretty soft corruption though, more like sexual liberation.
Otherwise ya, everyone else is pretty well corrupted to begin with.

But I agree, the corruption tag has to be for her although it is stretching the definition a bit.......

 

[Jstforme]

I agree the corruption tag shouldn't be a tag for this game, though the daughters I guess needed a day or so to take the final step. My only complaint is how the MC is written as such a dope. I always took it as the dev's way of making sure this in no way represents RL...like at all...so far from the realm of anything possible for such a MC to have what's going on that it's laughable. I mean the MC's dick is even just above average size, yet everyone acts like it's the biggest thing ever seen. I took that also as the dev's attempt to make this as unrealistic as possible to keep it as just fantasy.
Regardless, I love the game and look forward to more updates!
