Ren'Py - Completed - Monkey Business [v1.0] [Lazy Monkey]

It's been a while since I've "finished' the game but I randomly came across this thread again and decided to drop a brief review.

The story was somewhat interesting in the beginning, it's nothing too special though, nothing that got me like "Okay, that's something new that I never have seen before". And to be real honest, I even skipped most of the story the closer I got to the ending.

What I did like for sure, were the scenes/animations and the models being used. That's why I at least just skipped to all of the different scenes once I got bored of the story.

If you're looking for a game with some decent incest scenes, you could probably go and check it out. If you're looking for a great and a somewhat new story, this isn't the right one imo.

But that's up to you.

2/5 I really tried, a handful of times, But I just couldn't get into this one
Some honesty here; This review is being written a little while after the last time I tried to play through, was gonna try again but decided leave my opinion instead :/
Im not sure if it is the story or the writing but I can't get into this story! Some of it is funny but not enough of it to get me in further. The story just doesnt grab my attention soon enough to keep me going. With those last two statements I have then just skipped through to see the naughty bits, and gotta skip a lot sometimes, but even then I don't think it's worth it cuz none of it matters without the context imo so I just quit
+ Looks ok, Characters are good looking i think (MC kinda puts me off and idk why but still looks good)
+ Runs well, Cant think of any issues/bugs/glitches that i noticed
- The rest of it? I know that's not super helpful but I dont know how else I feel
-Meh story
-Writing is ok, Has some funny points but I found the majority to just fall flat
-Characters do have personalities but I never got to the caring about anyone part so I wouldn't say it's a positive

2/5 I tried it, Tried again, and again a few more times but just wasn't for me. Sure it would be fine or even great for others

The writing to begin with was bad but in a way that was at least humorous and that you could get the gist of what was intended, but after a point it becomes kinda gibberish. Maybe the quality picks up again later, but as a stickler for consistency I suppose I'll never know. Pity because until it became painful to read I was otherwise enjoying it.

Great game, played it all the way through, read everyline. It's awesome! I wouldn't change anything about it, besides more mom scenes of course. Thank you for creating this game, I appreciate you so much!

not a sandbox game, more like VN..
skip all the way to the ending..

really like the art tbh but sister look way older than mom and aunty..
not much choice of sex position, it'll be good if you can give a little more freedom to the mc

This game isn't without flaws (well, which is?) but I have to give it 5 stars even if just for one reason (and there are more than one) - the nylons. I love long legs in stockings and pantyhose and this game has plenty.
The story is also not bad at all and the girls are very hot. One of my favorite games.

If you are a fan of taboo or , this is imo a must play.
Taboo is the main focus in this game. The models are aesthetically pleasing. The writing is not half-bad. The graphics are great. Animations are also good.
8.5/10

pure VN, there is no sandbox, no anal, and group sex is the main character and 2 women...
I pressed CTRL and it flew!.. you don't do anything, and the characters start fucking, and the only choice is where to cum, in or out...
And all the women look over 30 years old...
I'm not going to rate the fucking story because I haven't read it...
Fucking VN...

v1.0
Flawed but ultimately good game. Especially if forewarned.

Art is overall pretty good... except there is this really grainy texture on many images which almost makes me think the author ran it through a grainy filter to make it look "old".
The game is overly focused on your mom and sister, with each of them commanding roughly 40%+ of the game's content by herself.
Characters were pretty good.

The game has lots of choices... but not in a good way.
In terms of plot, it converges to only a couple of options.
In terms of waifu, you are forced to make completely arbitrary and pointless picks.

Actually, a lot of times you are not even making a real choice.
For example, most of your sister's content is gated behind fucking her in the pussy.
Which itself is gated behind two completely unrelated steps:
1. seduce mother - you MUST do this. can't fuck sister without also going after your mom.
2. when taking mother on a date. pick city date instead of a nightclub date.

If you did not jump through these invisible hoops, then even though you regularly have oral sex with your sister and she is your submissive slut, you won't have the vaginal sex scene with her and as such a bunch of latter scenes will be skipped.
This wasn't a real choice about the sister, but rather the sister content is randomly gated around doing/not doing completely unrelated stuff with other characters.

Another example is when you spend an entire month out of town hiding in micro town with your aunt and cousin.
Your slutty aunt blows you on day 1.
On day 2 you have to choose between fucking aunt all day, or going with sister and cousin to smoke.
When smoking you choose which of the two to grope. Later in the day the 3 of you are smoking in the attic where based on your grope choice you either:
A. fuck cousin while sister watches and masturbases. can not do anything with sister even if you already had oral with sister her multiple times
B. 69 with sister while cousin is passed out from smoking a joint.
Then the game skips a month ahead with NOTHING else happening.
So you had a forced "choice" between 3 different girls. even though there was absolutely no reason for them to conflict.

The game just tries really hard to shoe horn mutually exclusive choices where they really have no business of existing.
There is also no real harem ending.
There are also multiple untranslated lines sprinkles in the game. I encountered 5.

Flaws aside, the game is not bad. There is some enjoyment to be had. Especially if you are forwarned.
PS. if you want a good ending you need to:

Seriously cant rate this high enough.

Fun story with an interesting "family". I can't talk highly enough on how fun and funny this story can be at times on top of steamy.

Sis is interesting because her personality really fits a sister who gives you shit all the time so when the fun times kick off you might be taken a bit off guard. The interactions you and her have are almost always interesting.

Mom on the otherhand is the slow burn and i love it so much. You know you want her, the mc knows he and you want her but she keeps you at arms length and you have to over time break her down. When mom gets in the mix, the tension swirling around the mc, sis, and mom is magnificent. While i can agree that the aunt kind throws a wrench in the game since she is more akin to a standard woman in a vn and probably would've been better if she was more of a blatant tease before opening the floodgates (in contrast to her sister), I still like her quite a bit since she ends up being a combo of mom and sis in a way. I seriously can't explain how great that is in a vn. Usually you are hit with scene after scene to the point where you have nothing to work up to or if it is a slow burn then its pretty much smouldering. This game threads that needle so well and I hope to find something that comes close to this in the future.

An entertaining V/N.

The models look fine, not too extreme. The animations are done pretty well. There are plenty of lewd scenes thrown in and while I wouldn't exactly call it a slow burn there is some build up. Just enough to keep it from becoming frustrating while waiting. A little more might not have hurt but it's fine as is.

The nice thing is once mom and sis cross the sex line there is no going back and they eventually go all in. I wouldn't have minded seeing more of the aunt, especially at the end. While there are some side girls thrown in for variety it doesn't overwhelm with too many as with some V/Ns.

There is some humor but not over the top and it doesn't stray into the weird just for the sake of being weird as I've seen some tagged with humor do.

This isn't exactly what I would call a harem but the ending was satisfying and the addition of pregnancy was nice. As I said before I wouldn't have minded the aunt playing a bigger part.

Definitely worth a play through.

First of all I gotta say that the game is very poorly made in structure and mechanics and concept atleast,for example at random times the translation switches for some time to russian,secondly there is no music or soundtrack of any kind,story and dialogue seem to have taken a back seat,IN THE OTHER CAR as they are awful,almost nothing is well tied into togheter or explained properly.

SPOILERS
You are the son in a casual family at first sight,you find out your dad is corrupt and a criminal who is either close to getting caught or is getting impacient to get his money or wants to rip off his partner.
You are coerced by circumstance (and bc its a game) to help him,you found out your mother was not only aware but blackmailed to it aswell before,long story short this can go a few ways but none of those can really be called a happy ending. The main ending I got that dad gets you out of prison and forces you again to launder money for him,everyone around you is dissapointed or barely holds on,no exit in sight,
Point being that dialogue is stale,action is practically non existant and feels very rushed when it barely happens. Nothing is engaging and no reason to keep going.

choices are barely impactful with the exception of the end,you have no music or sound to listen to thats a pain in the ass not to mention that music is very integral part of any game like MGR.
Game is disgusting with its incest which is almost mandatory,few other options really.
In many areas the dialogue MIGHT feel off bc of it being poorly translated from russian but that might not be the case,either way its the dev's fault for not properly translating it.

Quite good overall, in my opinion. I find it more plausible and engaging if the mother and sister are portrayed as step-relations rather than blood-related. The game, unfortunately, doesn't establish a solid foundation for a believable story of true incest. Crafting a convincing narrative for such a theme demands significant build-up, making it a challenging endeavor. However, the scenes and the overarching story are the key aspects that lead me to say it was a satisfying experience overall.

I was pleasantly surprised by the ending. Many games tend to lack proper closure after the climax, but this one stands out for providing a fulfilling conclusion. Also, it doesn't overstay its welcome, recognizing that all good things must come to an end. While the renders may be somewhat outdated, they still hold up well enough, not hindering the overall enjoyment of the game. I would certainly recommend it to anyone.

It's a pure porn AVN with a pretext story.
Renders are mainly bad, except when there are sex scenes; of course, those are the most important ones so that it's okay.
The girls are diverse, but the sex scenes are almost all vanilla and repetitive.
Even with the fetishes, the story still goes nowhere with no real choice to have.
So it's a great one hand game with a "skip" activated function to go from sex scene to sex scene, but other than that, it's not worth the time since there is no real tension building.

Good story and pacing, doesn't drag things out.

Too bad there's no true harem ending, as in getting all the girl to live with you and get them all pregnant.

Also, some characters' stories are not developed, like Miss Gordon, who is very hot, and Mia.

Overall still a great game.

When downloading a game with a 4 star rating, I expect it to be, at the very least, coherent. Can't say that's the case here--the story is a nonsensical mess, the grammar starts out bad and gets progressively worse, scenes just begin and end without any reason or flow, every character is annoying and idiotic (especially the MC and his sister,) and the way every relationship progresses feels rushed.

Its only redeeming qualities are the renders and models used, but they're not enough to justify the 4 star rating or a playthrough.

The story in this VN doesn't even begin to make sense, everyone is super horny all the time.
But it is also insanely hot with some surprisingly touching moments.

And sometimes that's all you need.
5* for the fappability and the fact that the game doesn't lose time in poorly written filler and goes straight to the important scenes.

First of all, obligatory notice that this is the 'family harem' specialized genre.

The game is actually very fun, the pacing is alright despite the atrocious machine translation from Russian.

The characters of the sister and mother, the two main LIs, are believable, if somewhat overly horny by necessity. You can marry either, though the sister path is actually really cute when you consider the prerequisite flag being set some 10 minutes into the game.

The plot is something that would get 6 seasons and edge out your favorite Netflix show after its first season, veering into the comically bizzare in some paths.

Finally, and most disappointingly, an entire side story is locked behind choosing a submissive path, which is kinda lame because I actually very much liked the cousin character as well, as she has an all-too-realistic character premise.

Still, the game is solid, the renders and scenes are hot, it's classic incest with an inexplicably competent yet clueless protag. Maybe one day someone makes an actually decent translation mod and we all win.

This story had it's moments but ultimately fell short... This was clearly cobbled together from what looks like an abandoned attempt at a sandbox. Glad that element was dropped but when turning it back into a regular story, corners were lazily cut. The pacing and storytelling suffer from this with some scenes dropping you right into other with zero transition or explanation. That is when there is any storytelling at all. A lot of it does not make a lot of sense on top of having poor translation and grammar in more than a few areas. The only redeeming quality I can think of is the models and a few comedic beats here and there.

This one has its ups and downs.

The humor is pleasant, and I didn't find it difficult to follow the story despite being a russian translation.

I'd say the dynamics with the fam have a slow burn... but then you're also offered your sister's feet the first day. So sometimes it wants to be a little serious, and sometimes it goes a little apeshit.

Somewhere along the middle the story takes a bit of a dive with ol' daddy-o getting mixed up with the wrong crowd. Luckily the mom and sister stole most of my attention.

Technically the renders are okay, and I'd say the animations are pretty good. But the transitions between scenes were often sudden and didn't do the flow of the story and immersion any favors.

I appreciate the obvious effort that went into this.
