V0.04 Reviewed
This is a simple slow-burn corruption in the approximate vein of "A Wife and Mother."
I gave it a try and found myself drawn into the story only to be periodically ejected from it by the often awkward or even nonsensical narration and dialogue.
The VN awards points for interactions with NPCs that resonate with them, as well as a tracking a generic "lust" value for the (admittedly very attractive) female protagonist.
The art skill on display here is simultaneously technically very good with just enough flaws to fall short of excellent. For instance, the artist puts a lot of effort into a very difficult pantyhose-changing scene, and executes it flawlessly, only to stumble with relatively flat and boring lighting and occasional heavy-handed post-processing. He also sometimes fails to consider where the text box will appear during lewd scenes. Faye masturbation scene, I'm looking at you!
The characters seem to be varied and interesting enough, though I was able to play comfortably through the available content in an hour or two and there's a lot left to discover.
It did not make any choices so far that seemed important enough to impact the story meaningfully, but that's an impression rather than an analysis of the code.
As for plot, there's not much of one evident yet, other than a salary crunch imposed on the MC which seems more like a device to justify her descent into less ladylike behavior to make ends meet going forward.
While this may come across as a backhanded review, I certainly don't intend it as such. The lewd scenes (which have been pretty tame so far with only masturbation and no oral or vaginal sex in my playthrough) are well-executed and hot. The dev gets a lot of mileage out of nipple play and teasing. I want to make clear, however, that this is still escalating much more quickly than the title I compared this to at the beginning of the review. In short, this does not feel paced to be a "blueball simulator."
Maybe it's a reflection on my own fetishes, but I found the scenes where "mom" is pushing boundaries with her sister and daughters to be the hottest so far. Again, there's no big rush here, however some "porn logic" is evident in how both daughters are automatically into their mother from the get-go.
The interface is basic with no real bells and whistles beyond Ren'Py's normal features, minus a single button that lets you view "points" when curious.
TL;DR: While not a top tier contender , I do think the talent may be there to elevate it. I'm interested enough to see where this goes to support the dev, and put my money where my mouth is.
