VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Motherless [v0.22.1.0] [Mr.Mister]

This is the second time I'm trying this game. Honestly I'm pretty tolerant of porn game stories and dialogue. You have to be or you would almost never play them in general. This is pretty standard fare. It's weaknesses are made worse though by the weird tweaks someone did to the models to enhance their bodies. You know why men love women's asses? They're nicely shaped and firm looking. These boxed shaped bums look awful. The models in the game look like they would have been decent if they weren't deformed to make them bigger with no regard to the real shape. The lighting is not good either. There is a lot of flat lighting with no shadows which makes them all look plastic at times.

The story is reasonable enough. The idea of going from place to place discovering moms along the way is the perfect setup for all kinds of fun stuff. Again though when the women look like zombie stand-ins with boxy asses and weird tits the story such as it is loses most of it's potential to deliver what it's teasing. If the models had those silly deformations removed and even basically lit with shadows the game would have more appeal.

Anyway I think average is fair enough. Some of this game isn't terrible but the deformations really don't help. The bad lighting adds even more to the poor models but even that isn't consistent as some of the models look ok. Try it if you're bored.

This is probably one of the most nonsensical pieces of media I've ever experienced. Let's go point by point.

Visuals: I don't usually have much to say regarding aesthetics, but this game just looks ugly. The girls are ugly, the way it's rendered is ugly, the excessive use of close-ups and goofy expressions make the already ugly characters even uglier. It's just not a pleasant sight.

Audio: the random sound effects just take me out of it, their use kind of reminds me of a YouTube poop--they're not entirely disconnected with what's on screen but they just come across as "haha funni" humour. There's also music and background noise, but nothing too remarkable on either end.

Writing: it's just dreadful. The plot barely makes any sense and the pacing is so stop-and-go you never really get settled into the story, but the worst is the dialogue. I'm not even sure how to describe it... It's mostly exposition, explaining both the plot and how the characters feel, but it's also sprinkled with weird idioms that I can only guess make sense in the developer's language. The whole thing reads like it was badly written in a different language then machine-translated into English. It's just not how people talk.

Ultimately, I don't think there's any reason to play this game. The girls are ugly, the story makes no sense, and the kinks have all been done better elsewhere.

So basically i want to share my opinion about this game based on the tags.

First of all, i like this game. I started playing it at season 1 and was therefore kinda happy that imo it had frequent updates that were definetly faster then most h-games on f95. If i had to guess, i'd say every 1-2 months? I'm not sure but it felt like it.

I'll keep the tags in spoilers, so they don't take too much scrolling or somethn

Overall it's a good game for me, but
their facial expressions could be better, cause their smile is sometimes creepy,
sex scenes could be smoother (more fps i guess) and changing sex positions would be some nice improvement,
and some LI's should be optional/avoidable like the grandmother (father's mother) for me and not just "forced to fuck".

[v.0.17.1.0]
Was enjoying the VN until maybe halfway through season 2.
At this point it feels like little more than jumping between sex scenes with the occasional italian/cowboy stereotype thrown in.

Edit: The following is about the standalone and not the full game. I'm still following the game but honestly it's not gotten too much better and seems to be making various shit up to keep the story and money flowing at this point

The protagonist is great, all the girls are beautiful and sexy too, the plot got intresting towards end of season 1 so I'm excited for trying season 2. I usually don't like medium hair MCs but the hair suits MC very well. Moon is my favourite girl (she look like Amazon goddess), Dick frustrated me a lot and I'm sad we couldn't deal with him, Castro getting what he deserves is fun and Gaylord...oh god i hate that dude

The renders are mediocre at best, and fuckin weird on average. There's no cohesive story, and the direction is all over the fuckin place. The premise is ridiculous. The dialogue is fuckin nonsense, was written by someone who speaks english as a second language, and there's far too much of it for as little sense as it makes. None of the characters are even remotely believable.

One of my go to sources for when I need to relieve some tension, I'm always left satisfied with this game for some reason. I'm team Valerie all day but others like Gisselle keeps me invested also. The story is decent for the most part and doesn't try to do too much but like I said before Valerie is the star of the show for me. The Dev is one of the hardest working people around I respect that and wish him all the luck the rest of the way.

The beginning is somewhat lame. But it includes plot elements that are necessary to understand the later actions and relationships. What motivates the women and why they need someone like the MC.

I haven't played the whole way through yet. I'm where his birth mother is living with him, and (depending upon your choices) you are doing nearly every girl that appears. And possibility to do those later on.

With the WT patch, you can skip or play the mini games on easy mode. The sex scenes are also mainly skippable. So if there are any women that you don't like, Just don't make the choices that result in sex.

The girls in the game look WAY better than the banner looks. Some are only ok, and others are OUTSTANDING!!! Some are simply gorgeous. Like dolls!
Dev certainly likes large breasts and bottoms. More than my taste, but hey it's free.

Also, he does MANY animations. Not just static frames. This person is highly skilled at graphics. And you can always SPACE through the scenes if you want.

The Dialogue seems to be written by a 15 yr old Russian. I speak Russian and there are many giveaways. His use of a/an/the and many overly formal, or sloppy phrase translations. They MC sounds like a 12 yr old at times, and a University Professor at other scenes.

TL;DR-
Anyway, once you get through the beginning, this turns into GOLD.
Personally, I really like the plot concept. It's unfolding isn't realistic, but it allows you to quickly F all kinds of gorgeous babes.

If you like a silly plot, read the dialogue. If not, just TAB through the speaking, and use the WT patch to make the "correct" choices.

first time reviewing a game, I really like the plot and characters in the game, for how twisted for the plot for the MC and his mother/step mother. Character design also fit me (this will depend on personal likes).

v0.16.2.1

just like the version number and this sites current rating, this VN (a laughably loose term obviously cos this is nowhere near a novel, more a novelty ) is completely convoluted.

there is no real structure to the story telling and the writing is just mind-numbingly bad. it had a certain brainless charm at one point in it's development but that really has worn thin as the project has continued.

if you want a prime example of development that shows a huge lack of it's creators learning from the process, look no further.

convoluted describes this in a nutshell as the MC has an inordinate amount of 'mothers' and other relatives. clearly a fan of incest created this but in a clueless way.

the imagery is sub par for this site and animations are equally poor. a few of the girls look alright but it's about the only redeeming quality to push this UP to a 1 star game for me. with this latest update looking very much like a plug for the next disaster (watch for the next over endowed MC ) making no sense whatsoever to an already nonsensical plot, any charm this had is not only dead and buried but has had the burial plot lease pulled.

i even became less aroused AFTER playing it. sheesh

Lots of hot women, good sex scenes and a good overall story. There was a time when a negative was it moved to sandbox, but that was able to be turned off. The only negative is unavoidable sex with women age 60+. That is called a "sabretooth" - a woman too old or ugly to be considered a cougar. That is frankly gross and should at least be avoidable/able to be turned off.

Sometimes, good ideas can be poorly executed for one reason or another. Mighty No. 9 is a kinda of a fun game... When the game allows you to have fun, because most of the time, no. The level design ruins the good mechanics that the game have, turning a acceptable Mega Man clone into some generic mediocre jump'n shoot experience. You might enjoy it, but not much. This concept can be applied to Motherless, for those TL;DR: Could be better with a tweak or two.

For all of the others: I'll explain WHY Motherless is kinda disappointing.

Story/Porn excuse: You're a guy, who after being adopted once because you're mother couldn't take care of you, then live 10 years on a pedo church because of your asshole adoptive step-dad, and then adopted once again after run away from said church, grow into a fine man who want to find his mother. Then you go to take care of a certain woman in hopes to find her. And then shenanigans happens.

Honestly, it's here that Motherless shines, it's premise. Not only that, but the intertwined nature of all the relationships that exist in the game is interesting.

Writing: That's the weak point of the game. I know that discuss writing in porn is stupid, but as a writer myself, I can't avoid it. It had some tropes that are annoying (girls immediatly wanting to jump on MC's dick being the biggest offender), which is kinda shame, because the characters are interesting, but the writing is pale. With a little moredevelopment in this part, Motherless could be great.

Graphics/Sex: We have a varied cast of Love Interests, from the main girls to the side ones, and I particularly liked the UI on title screen. But the sex scenes aren't on par with other games and the use of animations seems all over the place.

Music: Games with music had some bonus points with me.

Conclusion: Motherless have potential, but the weak writing and ok at best sex scenes let me a little down. And TBH,could be 4 stars if the game had NO animations. 3/5

Motherless [v0.16.1.2]

Pros

• Base story is little interesting and content is lot more.
• Open incest & polyamorous were initially attractive but soon realized as boring. Incest approach with mom has been portraited with little embarrassment was a plus; but soon the same is gone beyond pregnancy was intolerable.
• Excellent quality of image renders.
• Excellent quality of animations.
• Excellent sound effects.
• Playability, performance and grammar are all just OK no issue

Cons

• Unlimited / unrestricted sex by MC is highly fictionalized; doesn’t fit.
• Lack of genuine or more of fictitious for sexuality
• Lack of seductiveness in sexual approach

Summary: Somewhat Entertaining.

Version 15.3

Until this game it was hard for me to say that I had a favorite game.
But my god, this is actually number one now.

Before I played it, and as soon as I started playing, I was afraid that the models were too exuberant, unlike most games.
The game seemed to be generic and just another one.

But this game brings several captivating stories all interconnected. And the best, even the villains and the douches, fall fast. And no other guys have action in the game, so you can rest assured that there is no Sharing, Netorare, and such things.

And from what we see, Dev is never going for that, according to his Itch.io.
In the game you can even be with married women, but the husbands are either cool with it, or they are assholes (anyway, I enjoy NETORI (NTI ), so for me it is cool).

And in the game there are a lot of girls, more than 20 probably.
And keep adding more

A few of them don't show up much, but the main ones, 5/6, practically have a lot of time.

Thank you very much Mr.Mister

It's a great VN ruined by multiple small bad things that pile up to the point that it becomes multiple big bad things if that makes sense?

The girls appearances is one of the best things in this VN, very hot.

Render quality is above average.

sex animations, Terrible.

MCs hairstyle is one of the things that ruined this VN big time.
Sure dev changed it later on but still the fact that dev thought it was a good idea to give the MC a birds nest as a hairstyle in the first place is dumb.

another of the things that totally ruins this VN is that MC becomes lovestruck to whomever he sticks his dick into.
Its as if the idea of a casual friends with benefits relationships is a foreign concept to him...
He's just so vanilla that it gets bland to read about such an MC.


He has the mindset of a little boy rather than a man imo...
Either MC was designed to have little to no knowledge about love and romance, or it's the dev that has little to no experience with it, no offense but thats my observation.

All in all it's an alright VN but its nothing i would ever bother replaying.

[Only concerns S1]

Damn, this game is ROUGH...and at the same time I couldn't put it down.

Renders: terrible. 100% of women are deformed in a gross way.
Writing: bad. Not just the translation, but in general it's not compelling.
Progression: shit. Scenes just seem to happen one after the other.
Choices: none. You will fuck all the women. And you will also do anal.
Minigames: forced and also awful.
Characters: boring as hell, the same archetypes in every AVN ever.

But at the same time, there's some kind of magic about Motherless that made me play all eight or more hours in two sittings. I've thought about it for a long time and honestly this game just feels passionate, like the dev actually wants to make a good product and not just camp on infinite Patreon money.

I can't stress enough how choppy this game is though, I mean the women are all repulsive, with asses that looks like sig runes and boobs that are some abomination between plastic balloons and cow tits. The faces aren't much better, and the poses are borderline comedy. The writing, as I said, is basic at best and it's made worse by some really bad translation work (I could be wrong but I believe this is written originally in Spanish). Also there are obvious scenarios (a couple girls to bang) where I really wish I could have chosen another way but the game is 100% linear.

But I can't help but give it four stars. I had a really good time, and I can't wait to play more. After all, games are supposed to be enjoyable, and even if I didn't even get a half-chub once I was immensely entertained. I just hope S2 and beyond doesn't have the MC be anything other than a megaChad. If he starts losing or bad things start happening, it will utterly destroy the magic.

Mr and his game deserve so much praise and even more support. The quality is top notch and the story is compelling. All the feedback, be it positive or negative, Mr is always so open to the criticism and works to make everyone happy. He is also a great guy and easy to talk to about anything or questions you may have.

Onto the game, I truly love the mafioso concept of this vn and the direction it has gone. There's a plethora of hot babes so there is someone for everyone. All the beauties are accompanied by a great set of extras and the very likable MC. It does take a little bit to remember all the character and relationships but that is a good thing to worry about! The cherry on top are the amazing renders and great animations.

Honestly, I believe I passed up on Season 1 ages ago but am so glad I gave it another chance and followed into Season 2. It is by far my favorite vn on here! I am even more excited for where it is headed! Give it a shot, you wont be disappointed.

I thought I reviewed Motherless before, sorry for the delay Mr

Standard porn power fantasy fare. Alpha MC. Gets all the girls. Beats up or cucks all the guys. No more. No less.

Still, I'm rating it 4 stars because the dev tries to make unique models... and I do mean tries. That should be rewarded. But you should know what you're getting into. Many (most?) expressions come out distorted.

Then again, some of you might think "And THIS is why we use standard Daz models."... and that's fair too. If you're the latter type of player, knock off 1-2 stars for lack of fappability.

Everything in this game is so bad, starting with the women with their deformed bodies, the cliche and poorly told story, the script, the hyper generic models, It is nonsense, it does not even serve to be a porn game, hard pass.

I like this game vbery much...renders and girls are very beautiful...story is all right too..and tyhere are a loto of sex scenes. i'm waiting for the next update. and i recommend this game to all. keep up the good work Mr Mister..
p.s.
being italian i loved this expecially for the italian expression and words all over the game. thanks for that
