VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Motherless [v0.24.2.1] [Mr.Mister]

Okay, let me introduce you to the wildest premise of a game you've ever heard:

This is the story of the most Scandinavian-looking, California-born, Italo-Ukrainian surfer kid ever and how he was born to an actress and her one-night-stand. By the way, that one-night-stand would have been thrilled to know he's finally going to have a son because he's a real family guy. However, he's not going to find out about his son. No, the MC was hidden from the father because the mother wanted to continue to have fun in her life which means letting her best friend in the world adopt the boy. So, MC has a happy home right? Wrong. He's now going to be kidnapped by her mother's best friend's cuck of a fiancé because he can't stand all the love and attention the boy is getting and delivers the lad to the most corrupt church Padré he could find. The boy then escapes from that hell only to be unofficially fostered off-the-books by the coolest surfer military superspy ever. That man, Captain Kelly, is lost to the waves in a tragic sea accident. RIP(curl). Fortunately for us, our well-travelled MC has reached the age of majority and has adulted out of this rollercoaster ride of a below-board system and can now start doing adult things.

You still with me? No? Good. That's just the premise, the meat of this story gets even crazier. Our MC eventually meets and starts hooking up with all the women. MC gets in wild, fun relationships with most of these women. Some of these women, however, are supposed to be saving themselves for their family to continue the super-secret Italian mafioso purity trends of inbreeding into oblivion. Lucky for them, their indiscretions bear them no problems as it turns out our MC is the chosen one. That's right! Momma's one-night-stand, as it turns out, is the ultimate Italian mafioso whose family maintains purity of their most grand blood by inbreeding harder than you've ever considered a wincest game could ever go. So, the happy little accidents are happily super successful.

Also, he finds that he's been psychoanalyzing his lost adoptive mother and eventually finds out as well. Oh, and he accidentally has a bit too much fun with a woman who has taken up the habit, sexes her up in the convent, pulls her out of the convent and only then does he find out she's his long lost mother.

Now in a race against time, the story really starts to take off as the MC begins traipsing all over Europe, the former Soviet Bloc, across America (North and South) and all points inbetween as he seeks more family (from both his mother and father's side of the family tree) in an attempt to fuck them all. For a game called Motherless, MC has a surprisingly large number of Mothers and Grandmothers of varying degrees and names.

So yeah, wild story. Stupid story, really (there's suspending your disbelief for a story, then there's this thing)... but it's cute.

The renders are above average, none of them really strike me as grainy. The developer seems to have a type for women that he will vary slightly to get different appearances; sharper features are usually the order of the day. The MC is, arguably, the best looking character in the bunch; surprising, but fair considering he's seen more often than anyone else in the game. I think it was interesting to lop off his hair so early in the game's production... yet you wouldn't know it until you play. Even after the change, all art around the game focuses on the character having a real California surfer bro appearance.

SFX are everywhere. Some are distracting, some are unusual, but almost all of them are because the developer wanted punch in his scenes. Get used to it: "Yeah!" with a screen punch visual effect will be a real go-to. Music isn't really as important... now that I'm thinking of it, I don't actually remember music. Either there were so many SFX that I've drowned them out or it wasn't there... I'd have to go back and see if I missed it somehow.

All told, the game on the whole is average. The MC and some of the renders get 4 stars, the SFX is 4 stars, the lacking or forgettable music is 2 stars, the story is 2 stars.

Story and writing is basic. Visuals are what you see in preview. Harem game story is linear. There is funny moments but sometimes it's annoying. Overall it's an average game. There is no big story here. If you prefer story centric AVN this one's not for you. But have to praise dev for update schedules. This one got frequent updates

This game often contains most of the preferences, and the developer is clear that he wants to satisfy most of the players’ desires, and this does not exist in many games, such as a bad game called Summer is done, which only contains pictures, seductive scenes, and cinematic animation scenes.

Been playing this one for a while, and I'll admit, the beginning is ROUGH.

It gets better though. You can tell it's a real labor of love, and the Dev just wants to tell a fun story about family and free love.

I give it an extra star because the intentions are good, even if the skills could use some polish.
One of the better Harem games you will find on here.

The story and writing are pretty basic like it was written by a high School freshman. If you are up for an engaging story that is entertaining you will not find it here. The fap action is fast paced and constant which I suspect is why this one is getting such high reviews. At a certain point the amount of LI's included into the story gets overwhelming and older LI's get lost in the shuffle.

Largely nonsensical slideshow. This isn't much of a game and the linear story presented lacks any kind of tension and the overall goofy nature of proceedings make it impossible to be immersed in it even as a porn story.
The models and the sex scenes are garish with some real monstrosities in the early game. One extra star just for completing the project.

The writing in this isn't very good. The story line really doesn't make much sense, the behavior and reactions of the characters aren't well thought out. Contrary to what some would have people believe both the visual and the novel part are important in a V/N, hence the name. This V/N lacks in both.

Visually it's even worse. The models simply don't look very good and what is up with their oddly shaped butts? At times they look damn near square, sort of boxy and over sized compared to the rest of their body. It's off putting.

The Dev also used those profile pics to denote who is speaking and for some reason those very rarely come out looking good. By now you'd think Devs would realize they're better off forgetting those and just use names to denote speaker.

All in all this V/N turned out to be a disappointment.

To start, story and not bad. Part 1 is not bad, there are a lot of choices, but part 2 is crap (a simple VN). On the sound side, the sound effects are nice at first, but much too repetitive and at times, certain sound should not be there (or in another tone).

Story is nonsence as if written by someone using google translate to make the english version.
Reactions and characters are honestly just plain stupid, lesbians dropping being gay after 15 minutes in the precence of the Mary Sue/Gary Stu protagonist, every female is related to him in some way.

This in essence boils down to being like a bad porn movie where you need to not look too closely at anyones face, story or lines so as to not loose your erection/interest.

Motherless deserves a lot of attention! a nice harem game where there is no tension or disputes , In every other's games, Dev starts to make Mc boring or bad, where for some time they focus on the antagonists, but here Dev keeps Mc in the foreground and walks confidently, Dev has even improved Mc’s attitude and everyone is more attracted to his stories and he always tries to help everyone, I especially like the sound of him saying “WHOO” with joy. . I understand that not everyone likes it when girls hang themselves on the MC right away without a plot, but I hope that in the future new VN we will see how Dev will create the best game in terms of plot and a high-quality harem for the joy of everyone, I give 5 balls!

A LOT of 'content', scenes, and kind of decent renders, but that's about it. I guess not bad for a quick fap.

Renders: 4/5 ⭐
The characters don't look bad, at least most of them, although the milfs look way too young for their age, how can a woman that looks in her thirties have a son that looks like he's in his thirties is beyond me, but I guess it's a personal preference.

Animation: 4/5 ⭐
This game gets dragged down by how old it is, I replayed the game from the start for the experience and the animations at the start of the game are so bad.
It improves a lot as you keep playing but for some reasons some animations are just way off, can't be explained by the skill of the developer or being old, like you can have two animations in the same scene that have like 3 fps and 30 fps, or different lighting and details, when animation or picture style changes so drastically in a moment it puts me off, takes me out of the immersion and reminds me this is just pixels on my screen, not very nice...

Honestly I think it's more like 3/5 but extra point for actually trying.

Story: 2/5 ⭐
For some reason everyone wants to fuck this dude, and is related to him somehow from either sides of the family or his adoptive family... it's crazy.
You shouldn't play this for the story at all, just enjoy the ride if it clicks some of your fetishes and have fun.

Gameplay: 3/5 ⭐
Typical VN no open world, the UI looks fine and the few choices are very obvious, they pretty much boil down to 'interested' or 'not interested' in the current female, and during sex scenes where you finish/pregnancy or no pregnancy..

Sounds: 3/5 ⭐
Man I wish I can rate this higher so much for actually having sound effects unlike most of the games but I can't, the sounds are just too repetitive, the guy makes the same HU sound when he cums and when he's punching a dude or even when he's taking a shit, the girls moaning sounds are also repeated in multiple scenes, ah well, kudos for actually having sounds, it's not a 0/5...

Overall:
This is slightly above average. I think the dev can already let the dead horse pass away and move to a new game with his acquired skillset, it will probably look a lot better, and they can restart the whole teasing incest taboo thing.

One of my favorite visual novel style projects, it is also consistently updated on a regular basis. Your hard work is recognized and appreciated! The pregnancy storyline and visuals are the, BEST. No other Ren'Py comes close to immersing the player/reader with pregnancy renders/models that actually grow as the story progresses. With my fetish, excuse me, out of the way, the story of having been from a broken family to being in one of the most powerful families in the world is a great fantasy!

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".

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).
