The game is ok, and I had fun with it, but it's not quite five stars. It's a sandbox with true 3D. It has a sandbox part (interactions with random-ish NPCs and a little bit of world exploration, with "gather all the hidden pink stones" as main motivator), a plot part and individual chains of quests ("date sequences") for a dozen or so main girls. Animations are good (but not perfect), character stories are okay. Some controls (bike, car) are clunky but it's tolerable.
My problem with it is general pacing. It's a bit too plot-heavy. Don't get me wrong, I like games with slow sexual build-up, some of my favorite games are text-only, I don't mind figuring out girls' background, likes and dislikes. But here we get a "humorous" rick-and-mortyish plot about missing parents, aliens and scientific experiments, and A LOT of on-screen dialogue is characters discussing all that stuff. I honestly don't care. There are ways to make your one-of-a-kind setting and your plot points unobtrusive and natural, and there are some games that do it right. And there are lots of games that just wrap the plot in long "go-there-bring-that-speak-to-him" chains of quests and you just sit there skipping dialogues for a good minute. MB is one of those games.
Truth be told, developers added ways to fast-skip dialogues and even to skip certain minigames, so kudos to them. But still, IMO, it would have been better without all the plot stuff whatsoever. Just "here you are, in a new house with your family, go explore and meet people".
Anyway, worth a play. First two or three days are linear, then you get to the sandbox and can fuck random girls (just get 3 Intelligence first), or fuck plot girls with a bit more effort. There's a moderate amount of grind, but not too outrageous. Models are cute and visuals are nice. Impregnation is very limited though (only with one main girl of your choosing), but I'm not complaining.
