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

I really wanted to like this game. But I never could get into the story or the characters really.

Everything is more or less over the top here, which must not be a bad thing. The MC had a difficult childhood, first his birth mother gave him up and her best friend (a lesbian) took care of him, then the scumbag fake husband of the lesbian foster mom plotted to get rid of the child (said partner was introduced as being "gay", but for some weird reason a short while later he wants to have sex with his fake wife, and the name of said scumbag is literally "Gaylord"???) and entered him into some mean religious boarding school... until the MC runs away and finally finds yet another foster mom who takes him in.

The game also features rape in the foster mom's backstory, since her scumbag husband drugged her several times to get her pregnant. She decided to keep the children. I didn't like that particular element at all.

And the story is then about the super handsome MC (who must have had a horse as a parent a few generations ago...) about accidentally reconnecting with his birth mother who is now a nun and also his first foster mom (the lesbian with the rape backstory) who is still in a toxic relationship with a partner who literally gives her pills to paralyze her from the waist down.
And all of that is before we also get a mafia plot...

And did I mention that the first foster mom is a lesbian? Through and through? Until she isn't anymore because the MC turns her straight and gives her a good time? Eventually the MC will have sex with his birth mom as well and literally everyone else. You can avoid characters here and there of course. So you are not forced into relationships. Which is always positive!

The story is nothing to write home about. It's very unbelievable but ok, if you accept that it's mostly just parody or silly (fun). Except for the rape backstory, which is neither silly nor fun, it's nasty even if you never see it, it's just mentioned through dialogue and narration.

Where Motherless really disappoints is with the character models. Now beauty is subjective but virtually all the female love interests in this game look weird with strange proportions, oversized hips and bottoms and weird faces.

The game has some music, but mostly you get looping sound effects.

The game also has unavoidable kinks, depending on the character. And it's one of those games where the MC encounters a virgin (on an airplane, random encounter of all things!) who is not yet ready for normal sex (of course!), but is totally up for anal sex (as virgins usually are!). If you don't like that (you never know what you will get with any of the characters) you need to avoid the Japanese girl early on. Only you don't know what you'll get.

Another character (one of the daughters of the first foster mom) suddenly becomes submissive, there is even some bondage (she ties herself all up) and again, you have little choice here.

All the sex scenes are animated, the animations are ok but not as good as in other games, but certainly not the worst either.

I eventually stopped playing since I had very little fun. I didn't really like the love interests, almost all of them looked weird, the MC is the personification of a Gary Stu and the story is just silly.
The basic ingredients are all fine, MC who reunites with his family after years of absence... then there are the stereotypical scumbag male NPCs (several of them), the milfs, the mom, the teens, the virgins... but the execution is just sub par, in my opinion.

There are plenty of other games with a similar family setting that do a better job with the (overused) ingredients. And if you want a mafia themed game there are plenty of better (story driven) alternatives as well.

Doesn't mean you can't have fun here. But it will depend on how much you like the both the characters and the character models and if you can tolerate a story that doesn't really make all that much sense. As usual it's best you just give it a try, no review can tell you how much YOU will enjoy something. You can certainly have a good time with this game depending on your personal preferences.
But chances are that you may not enjoy Motherless all that much if you prefer a coherent plot and characters that stick to traditional beauty standards without exaggerated proportions and weird poses, and if you also want your MC to be less of a flawless Gary Stu.

Overall, a very good, humorous, harem game.

Pros:
The graphics and character models are good, but may take getting use to.
All the characters' personalities are unique and well done
Very humorous
MC is strong and does not let anyone get in his way

Cons:
Some of the animations may take awhile to load in.
Too many crossovers with his other game.
Forced sex scenes that just contradict the LIs personality and do not fit the game at all.

Review for v0.15.2.0
The Good:
I personally enjoy the art especially later on they get better.
Wide selection of tag/fetishes especially as a person who enjoys Harem and Pregnancy.
The Bad:
I believe the game is heading towards "Too many Characters". I hope the devs finish this project and move on. It's like a double edge sword with the amount of characters they have to focus on every once in a while.
The downright ugly: I couldn't think of anything particular tbh.
Overall: 4.5/5
I can't wait till we reach the final update of the game.
Best wishes to the Devs and anyone who wants to play/ is playing.
Highly recommended.

Kind of a mixed feeling about this game.

Game has amazing rendering, animations are good as well. Female characters are hot and MC is alpha like, also the amount of dialogues is good (not too much not too few).

However the scenario is kind of a mess in my opinion. Relationships between characters, MC objectives and story development really lack consistency and is very vague. Like nothing is explicitly said, there is no clue in relationships between some characters, you have to guess ? I mean the dude also has tons of girlfriends but you don't know if they are sex friends, exs, proper girlfriends, or something else, the default relationship with the characters and 80% of female characters is "friend". At this point it does affect to a certain extent the originality of the game but also its "teasing" factor. This should be rewritten and clarified.

3/5 only because the game looks good.

Good:
The game has lots of content,
no bullshit blue balling +
lots of moms in there and the renders and characters are unique enough.
Almost perfect.

What I kinda do not like :

I liked the previous mc more , current one looks like every other mc ever. Hair makes a big difference in these Daz things.

It has the same problems most patreon incestish games got, but more chaotic with so many relations to name to the point I forgot who is who except a few characters after coming back.
It is super minor though, it won't be a problem in completed state, just affects people who come back once every few months to come back and play the updates.

Motherless its a no. The reasons for that are alot, the giggest one is that its a bad story with an equally bad writing. Character models are also quite disproportionate `looking strange` . The game does have many animations, which is short of good, but at the end, their quality was also bad. And finally, it does include several sounds on different moments, but nothing impressive either.

So, Thats a no.

The story line is interesting, with a little bit of humor which brings the occasional chuckle. It has decent sound effects. The fact that you can technically write the incest aspect out off the game is something some players can appreciate. The image quality is good, and the characters have a good design.

Animations are great but the story is a bit thin, then there is the whole option to rename your character being pointless as everyone refers to you as "Sunny" for the majority of the game which defeats the whole purpose of being able to name your character in the first place

Developer gave 200% on renders. The story pacing and plot are kind of all over the place but I believe that is secondary in a porn game, only when it is truly bad I find the game unplayable, not the case this time. I hope that the dev keeps up with this quality.

This collection of game is one of best game in the F95zone .
Attractive body , wonderful story , genius author . Just waiting impregnate evryone , again and again , that would be awesome harem .
Developer Mr.Mister is very excellent .

Awesome game marathoned through all 2 seasons it had all the spanish soap opera feels at first I thought it would be a boring hentai game with no story but u get pulled in very quickly loved how long it is cant wait for new update

An amazing game with a huge number of characters, a story that you want to read, and not skimp on sex scenes, many thanks to the developer for his work, I'm really looking forward to the NTR scene with Natasha's mother of the protagonist, thanks for your attention

Played this game until the end of Chapter 11 (when the MC takes a flight to Italy).
Loved the story: gripping, thrilling even if it seems a bit overdone at first. The MC goes from being a newly graduated psychology student to (presumably) being the head of one of the most powerful (mafia ?) families in the world.
The girls and women characters are all varied and all have distinct personalities which is very rare in such a game.
The author manages to develop them into full persons, which again, is almost unheard of.
They are all likable and some of the them are really lovable.
My favorites are:
1. Gissel - the MC's (adoptive) mother
2. Domenica and Mirella
In conclusion: the writing qualities are the best I've seen in such a game rivaling very good soap operas. This is true for the story and the well developed and varied characters and love interests.
The characters facial expressions are mostly good but there is a weird one here and there.
Nevertheless, the quality of the writing makes up for it and makes this game one of the best I've played.

Reviewing v0.13.1.1 v0.13.2.1 0.14.2.1 0.14.3.0

Story: Average. The story seems to be contrived to make the MC meet tons of women he's never met before that are also his family members in some form or another. There some kind of plot related to the MC's Mafioso (or similar) heritage, but it's incredibly shallow and overshadowed by the MC meeting and fucking new women all the time. It's hard to stay interested in the story, but I suppose that's normal for a porn game. It's nice that the MC is portrayed as genuinely caring for the women he meets, but the fact that every woman immediately falls madly in love with him and wants to fuck him is a fantasy that got old fast.

Writing: Poor. Maybe other languages are better, but the English is tedious to read. The dialogues are forced, too formal, and definitely unnatural, and that's ignoring the also poor spelling and grammar. It's definitely a translation problem, which is typical for adult VN games.

Visuals: The render quality is good but not outstanding. Too many of the character's bodies and sometimes faces are unnaturally distorted (cartoonish) and the distortion varies between scenes with the same characters. The distorted bodies are obviously intentional, but unfortunately, not consistent. The animations are mostly poor but I'm starting to notice better animations in newer updates so new players should keep that in mind.

Content: Very good. The one thing that this game really excels at is having a lot of renders and lewd scenes. Usually, there are 3 or 4 new scenes every update and the updates are relatively frequent.

Gameplay/User Interface: Average. The game started out as a visual novel with very few choices, then new faux sandbox interface was added. This sandbox is pointless since the game is still completely linear and there are still very few choices, but on top of that the sandbox has also been very buggy. The developer said it's going to be optional in the next update.

Summary: I would give this game a 3.5 rating. This is literally the mother of all incest+harem+pregnancy games, pun intended. If that's your thing, you'll definitely want to play it. The MC fucks nearly every woman in the game. Most of them are related to him and it looks like most of them will get pregnant. I played without any mod or patch and, using the default relationships of "friend", the dialogues are even more awkward. Actual incest with known family relationships definitely makes for a better story, but there are so many relationships, it doesn't make sense to choose them yourself, so if that's what you want, you definitely need to use a mod or a guide to choose relationships.

The quality is certainly getting better, specially the model renders, with little to no awkward expressions down the update and animations are good too. Average story but imho feel good one, love is in the air baby, did i tell you it's i n c e s t* game. Some of the reviews down has 1star but it's definitely better than one, jump in then and enjoy, you may come across Willem Dafoesque expressions sometime in the beginning so patience is virtue.

This game is certainly more than i would expect. the first time i saw it i was thinking that it would be just a quick one sex scene one after the other but boy! was i wrong (kinda).

The story although not the best is certainly entertaining, enjoyable, and easy to follow, even if it fall flat on some places it's still far from disappointing.
The character, while not the best looking (imo) is good and certainly act more than just a sex object.

However i think the fact that the mc always managed to make every women around him fall for him in just a matter of a few scenes is a big weakness, since that way there's little to no build up for their relationship, making even if you succeed on wooing her feels not that rewarding.
The animation also could use some improvement, since in some scenes it feels a bit too rough, causing me to break out from the immersion.

But overall, this game is good, and it keeps making me wanting more, the fact that it's a fairly frequent update also makes it even more appealing.

Great work Mr. Mister, i hope that i can play it to it's conclusive end

Good graphics and that is it. There is no coherent plot yet the developer insist to continue on it. Dialogues are incredibly boring and meaningless MC's character is bland. Sex scenes are so boring as if they are drawn by someone who had only missionary sex in his life

Maybe give it a try at full skip. Don't waste your time trying to read the nonsense.

Motherless is a miss on my book. The reasons for that are several, the main one being a horrible story with an equally horrible writing. Character models are also quite dispropportionatea s well in many ways, making them strange, and often adopt quite weird postures just for random sexualization that add little to the story. The game does include many animations, which is something good, but at least as far as I got, their quality was not too high. And finally, it does include several sounds on different moments, but nothing impressive either.

So, all in all, a clear no for me.

Well finally sat down and played from the beginning until the update and I must say I was very impressed. I’m definitely someone who is about the story and build up. Well this game certainly does that and has a great story.

pros
- graphics and characters are unique and well flushed out as far as their story. A couple of the daughters of the woman you work for could use a bit more flushing out but that’s a minor grief.
- I think I avoided this game do to the main character looking like a blond Barbie. After playing and learning his or your story that went away and found myself liking him more and more.
- lots of stories, twists, plots, and side quests that are all interconnected and blended together very well
- overall a great story with plenty of lewd content and kinks to certainly satisfy most. Great game and looking forward to the updates.

cons
- first time this has ever been a con for me, but there is lots of lewd content and when I say a lot the main character would give Wilt Chamberlain a run for his money. The only reason it’s a con for me is that sometimes I’m getting really into to story and I’m like Ugg another scene. This is minor for me but it’s one of those conundrums where if you have too little of lewdness you loose people, but too much (grant it first time I’ve said this) and you kind of roll your eyes too.

great game overall and certainly five stars

This is the best game in the history of this site, and the second place is very, very far behind - characters, sex scenes, plot, MC, there is not a single minus here, this game is just too good, and dev releases updates with such crazy frequency, for such work Mr.Mister deserves six stars no less
