VN - Ren'Py - Mirror Mine [v0.20] [Lemonkey]

I think it's the best game in this forum. The graphics are captivating, it lacks a bit of animation and brightness but the story is the most intriguing possible. Very realistic!
The images give a noir effect to the story that suits the situations well. The only flaw but that is not related to the game itself are the updates that are too slow.

Real milf,no huge melons. I really enjoy the game. Inwardly,I really think she is sooooo effing hot,charming. If patreon had a payment method I could use, I would definitely support it. I'm very looking forward to the next update. 太棒了， 加油！/That's great! Keep it up! Can't wait!!!

Story is good
Renders are good
no sex with sister or mom
no bugs
Slown burn not a fan of it just when it looks like you gonna have sex with your mom the update ends
The two path love and corruption feels no real difference e for now

•The story is okay although pretty mainstream, the development not so much.
•I understand if it's meant to be slow burn but it's going flat.
•Almost all renders are very dark.
•Too much narative with short dialogue. The narative text is longer than the dialogue.
•Constant phone ringing and door knock effect

Good game initially, but simply falls flat after too many updates with too little development. I understand the want for a slow burn -- I was in the same boat, however I'm starting to worry that 'slow burn' means 'no burn'. Hope it works out in the end, but until we see significant progress with MC and mom, I can't justify any higher.

Amazing game, i absolutely love the realistic looking mom, and the slow build up makes it all the more fun and realistic, and its great that you have pretty damn different outcomes depending on the path you take. Love the game, keep un the great work.

Everything is good in this game..from character arc to story all perfect.
Like a slow poison but necessary .
Mc not getting what he wants will always be plus point when in other games mc starts sexual activity in first act . Then its feel like boring.
But in this mc never got successfull that keeps players hooked .we want mc to be successful

Get used to the sound of a ringing phone, a knock on the door or some other cheap plot device interrupting potential sex scenes in this game. There's slow burn, where things progress at a more natural pace, and then there's clear and deliberate trolling from the developer. I believe it's the latter here, but if it isn't, then I'd say this person must not know how to write a developing relationship. At least, not without using alcohol as a crutch. The relationship between the "mom" and "son" who aren't a mom and son thanks to Patreon, progresses at a snail's pace. If the snail was drunk and got pulled over for driving in a circle. It's literally so slow it doesn't make sense. Aside from that, another thing that doesn't make sense is how they put in scenes where the mom is being hit on or harassed like she's really that sexy. Now look, I'm all for average to ugly looking women in hentai games, I love the realism and it's why I decided to play this. But when she's a butterface over 40 who's not even thicc, it's silly to have men thirsting over her. And even sillier for the son to rush in and save her by ASSAULTING them and then walking away without facing any consequences. Scenarios like that make me wonder if this was written by a teenager.

The models, animations, plot are all okayish but the 3 year long long blue balling by the creator of this one is just a pain. At this point I can say that the progression/story/major character routes here is slower than a tortoise running on superglue!

Exceptional graphics and the milf is one of the hottest models in any of the games I've played. There is a subplot around gangsters or something with the ex-husband that is largely unnecessary, the writing of the main plot focusing just on the day-to-day lives of the mother and son is plenty compelling on its own. I'm fine with the slow rollout of the storyline. and there's very little "action" so far, but what there is shows a lot of promise for what's to come.

Checked the game after a long time. Blown away by the romance route. Top quality models, expressions, slow build up and good story. I hope the developer continues the good work and provide regular updates. This is one the best games here.

I'm sorry for the developer but I can't believe there are people who can give 5 stars to a game like this
-too slow in its development
-3 years of waiting for such a poor result
-The story may be good but the development is disappointing
-The romance route is certainly appealing to some people but I don't see anything romantic about it.
-the road to corruption is a simple wank in the dark and it ends with a black picture with simple and really despicable comments.

The characters and their story and relation progression is actually really good, and i like the renders as well, but for now there is barely any lewd content in the game, and the endless inner monologues of the MC feels redundant since he is narrating things that are happening and are visually shown. Take those out and the game would be half as long, and it is already pretty short as it is. Love the mom, and hope to see more with her.

Review as of v0.18

First, I'll say that the renders and character models are great, definitely above average. It's not the first time I've seen the mom character used but it fits well here. The environments seem to be unique and fit really well with the tone of the game.

The rest of the game I have mixed feelings about. I'll say that the mother/son relationship here is done really well. The taboo element of the relationship can really be felt, probably more than any other game I can think of right now. The issue I have is that there's too much going on outside of this relationship that I don't care about.

The evil dad plot just gets an eyeroll from me, unfortunately. It only takes up the developer's time and adds nothing to the experience in my opinion. Why include all this when it obviously takes so much time to implement? This game has been in development for years and it's hardly progressed at all. Maybe I'm in the minority here but I think the dev should just scrap the rest of the plot and focus on the relationship between the mother and son, possibly the cousin and aunt if he can find another way to work it in.

I'm giving this four stars because it has potential, and the dev obviously has some talent and puts a lot of effort into it, but I admit it's something of a frustrating experience. I'm fine with a slow burn game, but this game burns much slower than it needs to.

The story is decent. The renders are good. Nothing is outstanding. However, when combining the slow release-cadence and the slow-burn of the game, this is literally the slowest-progressing adult game I've ever played. This is not an exaggeration. I've played well over 250 adult games from this site over the past 2 years. I don't know how anybody could continue to patronize this developer when the developer delivers so little content over the course of nearly 2 years. The only way this would be worth contributing if the developer has a $0.25/month tier. I'm serious. This game is probably less than 20% complete after 22 months. It seems like it could end up being OK, but are players willing to wait for another 7 years and after all that time, will the game technology even be relevant?

Really like this one. The story is a slow burn and I love that. Excellent renders. I do have a couple of issues that hurt the experience a little:
- Animation is of lower quality than the renders. This is quite jarring in some scenes.
- Grammar issues. Needs some serious proofreading.

I like this game so far. Note this is based on version 0.17.3. The romance route has less sexual action going on right now but it is a slow build kind of story. The corruption route has more sexual things going on but I'm willing to bet there are planned consequences in future updates. The game models are nice and the story while having some drama and tension is not too much in my opinion. I like that this focuses more on a 1 on 1 relationship than a harem game where it feels like you have to collect them all. Anyway I do hope this game reaches completion.

I've only managed about an hour of this VN before giving up. The whole story is one cliché after another:

- Evil asshole dad
- Loving mom with no personality
- MC is a lazy, unemployed, perverted loser with a blank character, zero life skills, and absolutely no self-control
- MC goes catatonic with inappropriate staring the moment he thinks of anything vaguely sexual, which happens every 10 minutes
- The MC who is an adult with supposedly many sexual escapades sees an older woman in a bikini and reacts like a 13 year-old who saw a porno mag for the first time
- MC sexually assaults an unconscious drunk girl
- MC peeps on a lesbian couple having sex, gets caught

All that happened within the first hour, and I couldn't continue further.

This game is based on his story and that's a good thing!

Now I don't like this story because of the storytelling, all the situations are so cliché, the protagonist never surprises for the better, he is always more bad and indecisive than what a game based on corruption would give.
I ended up skipping the last parts of the story on the corruption side, I know I shouldn't have but cmon !
I find that there is too much useless dialogue, it may be so because the dev wants us to know the characters and their personality but hey,
with so many cliché situations it's just seen and reviewed which suddenly gives a redundancy effect & disconnect us from the game world.

Nice, slow story, suspense, good dialogs, nice renders. Not crowded with characters. The story and the secrets are unfolded at the right pace, leaving room for the story to develop. Just right for me.
