VN - Ren'Py - MILF Obsession [v0.2] [DanGames]

Another one of "these" from me. I'm only 5 minutes in, but I have to grind my axe on 75% of ALL the dialogue, so far, happening INSIDE the MC's head. Additionally, it's compensating filler dialogue. Essentially like... "what else can I say here?" is the motivation for most of the lines. The MC comes off as not a 22-year-old, but a 13-year-old, however, I can say I recently did meet a 19-year-old that was like this, so the bar may just be A LOT lower now on maturity expectations. To some degree, it is just attempts at humor that don't land, for me. I seem to be the outlier on this, since many of the reviews describe this game as being "hilarious" and is well written. Each to their own. It feels very "forced" and "obviously trying too hard" writing.

Pros: Well rendered. Models, sets, lighting - it's pretty good.

**Update**
The MC talks, at length, to himself when he's alone - not just in his head when there's someone around. The first night in bed was like an old "daily summary in bed" synopsis (Dating My Daughter and what's the other one from that time with the girl who was a musician... it's just her name as the title of the game), except the MC was holding a whole conversation with himself aloud.

Good writing and stories take you on a journey. You are along for the ride, experiencing things simultaneously with the characters. You are drawn in, almost like an active participant. This game just spews at you what they think you should be thinking or feeling. And since it's a translation, it suffers, so it may not just be a ham-handed writer, but the fact that you are inundated instantly with parentheses wrapped inner monologue by the truckload; amateur writing is definitely involved.

Easy example, the Mergers & Acquisitions MILF. When the MC awkwardly hits on her, her reaction dialogue is:
"I didn't think... I didn't realize. I didn't think you were... interested in me."
That is how the MC talks, not a 40-something woman who built her own Mergers and Acquisitions company. Not at all how she was speaking the previous night on the phone. Literally, his response reads like what SHE just said:
"I... I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. It's just... You're incredible. And I'd regret it if I didn't ask."
Clearly, they LOVE ellipses. It's a habit that bleeding everywhere in the script. But the TONE bled through between these characters and shouldn't have. This is a lapse in character. Even if she lacks experience with men, young men, or situations like this. Mergers & Acquisitions is massively about negotiations and dealing with a lot of corporate executives and politics. If they are hostile acquisitions, it is exponentially more complex and challenging. She would eat this boy for breakfast in any scenario, but here she's stumbling over her words like the MC stumbles over EVERYTHING. Her chosen career requires that she sacrificed at least SOME of her femininity for masculinity to be able to swim with the sharks and not just survive, but THRIVE and make them her bitches. If she were interested in this boy at all, she would have a near constant subtle smile and her eyes would be surveying him like potential prey - not rumbling, bumbling, stumbling anything. She wouldn't ever reveal if she was caught off guard, it's a Tell and a weakness which she would have annihilated from her being at least a decade ago, if not 2. Remember her line from the night before, "If he was working for me, he would be out of a JOB come Monday." or something like that. Go for the eyes, BOO! She's an Alpha.

"It's just one line, what's the big deal??" I'm like 10 minutes into this, if this is all already happening now and this often - it's just the scratched surface at this point. And unless I finish the game and forget, I'll update this review to eat crow and take responsibility for being an idiot.

Like any art, if you don't know the thing you're illustrating (with words or daubs of paint, whatever) you have to research and learn about it so you can try to accurately represent it. The line above was simply slapped on a page by someone to get to "good enough". And her career was selected by throwing a dart at a wall of "successful women's careers" or something like that. I'm probably completely off base with this, but this is playing out like Anime Dubs for American audiences - localized for toddler-level intellects.

Excellent well i really like those type of game (not vanilla ) since 1 years they dont make those type of games anymore with all the restriction rule censorship etc ... all the games are the same this one with few others are original if you like male domination blackmail (not in real life lol) then its for you. You will find a lot of game in those categories but with a female protagonist or a MC bein a victim dont defend himself bein blackmail or cuckload well in this game It's the opposite and its my kind of game i like it.

Between 2 and 3 Stars
The Dev, DanGames, has tons of releases I haven’t checked out yet as a lot are censored. Milf Obsession doesn’t have the censored tag which is great and while new, the updates have been super fast.

Good:
1. Terrific job with the character looks and graphics. Most games have “milfs” but they look younger than the 20yr old MC… Here they seem to be aged appropriately enough here. Great work!
2. Fantastic job with the lighting and colors. They kept the palette uniform throughout so far.
3. The story isn’t the same old...father died, one sister cute and the other hateful..etc…
4. Some beautiful women.
--------------
Not So Good:
1. You are treated like crap by your boss in many ways including loyalty and trust but still chase her around w puppy dog eyes.
2. Forced love interests with some characters that the player may think are gross. Also forced sex with them. (I know...but if you don’t like them...then the sex can seem ugh..)
3. There is a slutty neighbor wife and if you turn her down, you get reminders over and over and over throughout Milf Obsession about maybe you should have been w her. (you can’t change your mind at this point.)
4. The MC is a douche, pushover, wimp, domineering, sexy and suave...sort of depends on the conversation he’s having...at any rate, those personality changes could be smoothed out a bit.
5. Kinetic game for the most part. Out of the few “choices” most only have 1 thing to click...very annoying.


It’s a new release. The Dev, so far, has pushed updates out very quickly and seems to be doing a good job. There are a couple of things to be annoyed by a little bit however it's certainly enjoyable enough to try especially if the kinetic part doesn’t bother you.

The game was good. I generally prefer games with a lot of mature women. The mature women in the game are very attractive. The only thing I didn't like about the game was the sex scenes. There's no dialogue. The only things in the sex scenes are a speed control button and an end button, and they're over quickly. Everything else in the game is great, the mature women and the visuals are good, but the sex scenes themselves aren't that great.

Of course, everyone has their strengths and areas for improvement. However, I hope the developer considers hiring someone else to help create the sex scenes in the game. Otherwise, I think the current sex scenes are ruining the game.

If you love MILFs (which I do) you will like this game.

Premise of the game is that you are a coffee shop employee in your 20s and get to romance all the MILFs that live near you or that you work with.

This appears to be more like a kinetic novel at this point. Dialogue options have minor differences but usually lead to the same outcome and there don't seem to be major branches. You are able to reject some romances though (but I don't think all of them are reject-able).

Positives:
- the story is there, it's not that deep but it has funny moments and I found myself chuckling or laughing at certain points; pretty lighthearted overall
- great renders in my opinion, models look great (i am sucker for great looking renders and models, I think they are super hot)

Cons:
- animations are not that smooth, they are average i'd say, sometimes a little choppy
- some of the music and sound can get repetitive

v0.1.8
The choices don't matter,everything is designed to play in exact order,(might as well make this a "Kinetic Novel".Why is there dialogue option to insert the dick multiple times in one penetration scene?Why spoil that there's a secret scene as soon as you choose the option?Game presents an "accept or to refuse" an invite,buy refusing doesn't do anything.Female characters look like they are from uncanny valley.Carmen acts like a teenager in one scene and like an actual adult in the next.Margot's face is very unproportional/Font is ugly(too fat).

I admit I started the game with low expectations, expecting another toy-boy no-story game with oversized milfs.

But it impressed me. Most of all the writing, perhaps the best I’ve seen in the genre. The witty and insecure MC is likeable and even his internal monologues – typically the most boring parts – are excellent.

Animations are average and the models not really my taste but overall I enjoyed the game a lot.

for v0.1.8

The story is simple, I mean there is no real grand story behind it, no real narrative drive, but it is decent enough and realistic enough to make it believable.

You are pretty much a loser that lives alone in a rented apartment and can sustain himself on a barista paycheck... right... anyway you realize that no woman your age is interested in you so by accident you realize that mature women like to jump your bone so you start a hagmaxxing adventure.

Look I really like the latina booty in that bunny outfit so my initial 3 stars got a boost to 4 stars

V0.1.8.how.do.i.stop.adding.dots.?.....

okay so there is no real plot, the art is not the best and the writing at times is like mental flossing with sand paper with the humour falling flatter than my last attempt at telling jokes about my wife at a women's lib meeting, BUT....

..it does flow well with decent pacing and that alone can make a huge difference. when you have spent umpteen hours reading a decent japanese avN you may want to offset with an AVn that this site has an abundance of. thankfully this one does not pack way too many adult scenes with minor bouts of text, it has, for me at least, just the right blend to build some anticipation before the payoff. few do that for me here so kudos for pacing dev

as an added bonus there is no sandbox or point and click crap. no hidden images bs either, just the AVn

Man, this game is pure gold!!! Probably the best harem game I've ever seen!

great drawing and great story (funny, well written, without the need of that ridicoulus forced landlady tale that pollute most of the games here!)

not to mention the fast updates... the dev can't be praised enough!

[Reviewed Version: v0.1.7]
Probably one of the most hilarious AVNs I've ever played. Every LI is funny without being forced, and the renders of every MILF are just top-notch. The MC is funny, mischievous, but with a good heart -- the perfect combination in a MILF-based game. The story, while mostly mundane interactions between MC and LIs, slowly develops into a mysterious and engaging experience. Can't wait to see more of it!

Well written, nice setup/story, gorgeous models, enough choices to get some good surprises, (such as bonus scenes), and - so far - regular updates.
If MILFs are your kink, you came to the right place.

MILF Obsession is a well crafted -albeit simple story about a boy and his daily struggles. Meaning, there's nothing too deep, and that's alright, sometimes you just want something lighter, perhaps more believable.

Yes, the game has (some) porn logic, meaning, all the girls around him are beautiful and at some point end up interested in him -but the game has to work somehow am I right. But that doesn't mean they are less interesting. Each as a strong personality with their mannerisms, they can be shy, conflicted, there's moments of teasing, and build up, models are not generic but rather well expressed, and there's plenty of scenes to populate the gaps.

The only nitpick is having to (sometimes) click in with the mouse in the middle of a hot scene...

v0.1.6

Story is pretty nonexistent. It is more about our average Joe MC getting to know these MILFs, fixing their problems and getting some pussy for reward.

Writing is surprisingly good, when comparing to the story. Women have fun personalities and relationships build with nice pace. Every woman have their own unique problems and that makes things interesting their own way. Sadly there is no meaningful conversation options, but the quality of writing is good enough to keep interest up.

Visually game is superb. Lots of nice flirting and teasing. Even if the story is boring or writing is not so interesting at some points, there is always nice pictures to keep fun meter high.

holy hell, this game's amazing, as a milf and latina lover i approve, VERY STRONGLY I MIGHT SAY(LOL), but the design of the women is crazy good, love the story too and humorous friend now that's a cherry on top, can't wait for more updates from dev.

Not quite 5 stars. Yet. But it could become that with me. Very good so far. Good story. Could still be improved. Good gme play. Could still be better. Hey, I for one, am a full fledged member of the "Bring back the bush" club. I am also a member of the creampie means she may get pregnant club and with pregnacy comes serious choices and financial consequences. Also the story needs to involve paychecks, bank accounts, ability for him to buy some kind of wheels, groceries, rent payments, you know just some real life actions as well. No need for the I must eat, drink, piss, shit, shower crap. We can just keep assuming he actually did them all.

But yeah, happy with how the story is progressing. Happy with almost all the relationships so far. Little worried about what will go in in the Logan.signicant other relationship. Logan seems cool so wondering where the Dev is going with them. Can't stand Brianna but would still fuck her. Her Mom is hot. Would rather fool with the Mom since she isn;t a bitch like her offspring. Can you convert a lesbian cop? Or is she secretly a bisexual and won't admit it to herself? Sorry but I wanted nothing to do with that skanky ass hooker. Might be a game but my MC likes his cock and doesn't want to send it into the danger zones. Her vagina looks like a high action combat zone full of minefields.

Yeah, will be watching this one. Had an interesting time playing it.

This game is really better than it looks from the previews. It really deserves more success.
- It has a cool story, pretty well writen
- choice kinda matters (you get extra scenes on certain choices)
- models looks great, specially if you are into milfs (there's also not milf girls that are probably going to have scenes in the future, like the daughters of two of the characters, but no lewd scene with them for now, as of 0.1.6. We are problably going to have at least one in the next one or two updates, if you are in a certain character's route)

If you are into milfs and looking for a light hearted VN this is the one chief. Milfs are hot as hell and every character hits a specific type of kink and the VN is pretty decently paced too and too think that this game just released this year in july and already has this much content. Props to the developer. Definitely keeping an eye on this one.

MILF Obsession (v0.1.4)

How good are you at pouring a killer cup of coffee? You’ll need your beans hot for this barista fantasy. Don’t let the generic name fool you out of this game.

STORY
You’re Bruce, a young guy working the coffee bar for a ripe latina named Carmen. As time passes, life gets more weird and young Bruce starts obsessively fantasizing about older women in his direct area. These women are receptive to his quirky, introverted ways and along the way, Bruce builds several interesting friendships with these women.

MILF Obsession is written with care. The responses are elaborate (often too elaborate to be realistic), and while being a total male fantasy, characters mostly respond within their personas. As the game progresses, the humor gets stronger and helps you bond with Bruce and Carmen. It also gets sillier, from helping your delusional friend to a weird appreciation dynamic with both your neighbour and his wife. Not to mention the antics in the coffee bar that change Carmen.

The game starts off very generic, focusing on Bruce idolizing his boss Carmen. As the world outside of the coffee bar grows, the game gets more personality and showcases all kinds of characters. It's called 'MILF Obsession', but really this game is about cougars, naughty housewives and sex workers all together. It's a nice palet of characters and they never overstay their welcome.

Main character Bruce could do with a bit of writing rework. As a 22-year old, going from stuttering incel to bold sex toy is too much of a stretch to be realistic. From chapter 2 on, Dangames finds a better voice for him and leans into the 'horny young man next door' character. It's a trope, but at least it's better than a schizophrenic response.

While the writing can be a bit too theatrical for my tastes, there's good worldbuilding and characters respond differently. Carmen could really use the validation, while Casey and Elijah could do with a little resistance to keep their antics in check. Logan is one of the outstanding characters, firstly leaning into a trope but opening up if you play your slaps right.

MILF Obsession is fun. You won't find a fuckfest here, but rather a curious tale about young men who try to get freaky with a bunch of older, good looking women. I don't know if obsession is the proper word, but Bruce is really looking to start a lifestyle where older women are into him, so he can get into them.



PRESENTATION
Developer Dangames chose a sterile, almost doll-like look for the characters. It could do with a bit more vibrance and liveliness, but for the most part the graphics work. There's a big emphasis on bokeh and FOV, which most people perceive as cinematic, and the game features many renders and even animations sprinkled in between when things get naughty or characters blink.

Stylistically, the camera angles are standard like a sitcom, but well executed. You won't see too much of Bruce's face, but other than that most characters have enough face time to become recognizable fast. The choice for all capitalization isn't my cup of tea. Yes, you can read it better on a small screen, but you're losing emphasis in conversation as well.

In gameplay, we'll talk about a few interactive elements that the game hold. The UI elements are a bit clunky, but work and are clear enough to be used. The popup elements for gaining or losing money or activating a secret scene are more than welcome, and help make this a more premium experience. I also enjoy the dialogue choices on the right side of the screen, in addition to the design of the tap games. Dangames put a lot of thought into the interaction and it works well for the game's presentation.

There isn't too much sexual content as of Chapter 3, but the worldbuilding of this game is good and asks to be enjoyed in a calm, steady pace. The small animations are fun and while the sound design did get attention, I don't really think it adds too much to the experience other than a little silliness. All in all, MILF Obsession looks great.

GAMEPLAY
For the most part, MILF Obsessions plays like a standard novel. Along the way, you will find you can influence the relationships of the people around you. After each chapter, you get a recap screen showing the events that happened in your playthrough. There is choice and consequence however, although the game doesn't go out of its way to show you that.

In a dialog, conversation options show up on the right side. Following these often opens up a character to Bruce, allowing for more compassion. You can sometimes be silly or spice things up, which could lead to a 'secret scene'. These scenes are loaded with extras or just fun gags, which boost the quality of the game. If you're seeing one dialog choice, you know there's something else for you to discover.

Bruce owns a phone in which he has character bios for the main characters, a replay function for intimate scenes and the ability to change his wallpaper. Incidentally, the story will allow him to receive chats and photos, as well as take some. It's simple tap interactions, but it works to tell the story. Add to that the same tap-interaction for slapping butts and punching the coffee-machine, and it's just a nice addition to the interaction.

OVERALL
While the obsession in MILF Obsession may seem more like a deliberate preference, the game paints silly scenes which allow its characters to open up and shine. Bruce had a tough start, but is part of the joke by Chapter 3. The game got better over chapters and has enough unique story bits to keep players interested in new shenanigans. Now how many crazy things can happen in a coffee bar?

Rating: 7.5/10
Developer:

Engaging story, characters are hot and the MC isnt totally pathetic. Obviously at 0.1.4 the story isnt fully developed, but the game has A LOT of potential.

Some of the side characters seem a bit meh in comparison, but the main characters are definitely the highlight. I'm curious how the story plays out, but I can already foresee the harem build-up.

God speed dev.
