VN - Ren'Py - Completed - My New Family [Christmas Special] [Killer7]

Great game from a great new developer that is always interactive with fans and supporters of the game! The game thread is informative, with frequent updates and involvement of the dev himself. The story is engaging, with a good variety of characters with their own distinct personalities and body types. Killer7 cares deeply about the pace in which things happen, never adding an event or a development in a relationship until he feels it is appropriate. If you are looking for a fun VN with a great story, please give My New Family a try!

I love this game, and I cannot tell you why.

Really though, I cannot point to a reason why I love this game so much, it's not like this is a ground breaking story that we have never seen before, or that is has the best renders I have ever seen or anything like that (please don't take those as insults.) I guess if I really really had to point to a reason why I like this game so much, it has to be the heart. This is a game that just feels like the creator is putting their heart and soul into the project. You really must play it to experience it though, and I mean really play it, read all the dialogue, don't just skip to the lewd scenes, really take it all in and you will be rewarded.

Great game, sort of uninspired beginning but soon becomes a memorable game. There are no unlikeable characters apart from the one your meant to dislike and you can choose who you like and who you don't. Animations are well done also.

The dev also seems like a genuine down to earth person and he definitely deserves your support if you enjoy the game.

An easy 4/5 but only loses a star as it is quite short. I'll give 5 stars as the dev has promised and is currently honouring his promise of 6 day long updates per month so I don't expect length to be an issue soon.

Review for .4 public version.

This started off as something I went into with low expectations and the author magnificently surpassed them.

The animations are pretty good also, as well as the music selection.

Even the cat-girl character I thought would just be there to appeal to the fetish wasn't just thrown in as a junk porn character. The author is very good at surrounding this with drama.

So from a story perspective, there were only 2 issues I felt lacked detail:
-How did the mc get in contact with his "landlady" so easily? I mean, the dialogue just says he, without even seeing her since he was practically a baby, somehow got all her contact information easily. I'd understand if she was close by, but she was a literal train ride away.
-If Lucy's life was truly hell at school, I don't see why the "ladlady" didn't just use home tutors or do homeschooling? Idk maybe it's just not legal there? Still, I would think with all the wealth and connections there would be a way she could protect herself.

Also: If hypothetically speaking there was some hidden dialogue in the game about incest, which of course isn't the case, I would prefer to see the daughters refer to the mother as "mom" and not "mum." It's just too unamerican to see that.

Another issue is the backgrounds. They look like the graphics were made from the mid-1990s. I was surprised when I noticed it my second time around, as the girls in this game were able to distract me from that for so long throughout the game. I would encourage the author to try blender.

I was tempted to dock, but the details were so minor and it was pretty good.

Overall a solid game 5/5 here I'd encourage others to try out.

Animations 5/5
Story 2/5
Gameplay 3/5

This game is about 90% reading, meaning you'll be spending most of your playthrough pressing the * enter button, and the animations are few and far between at times. There was so much reading and heartstring pulling that I had to delete this game, halfway through, on my first playthrough. This is also a A to B game, so not much freeraoming.

Basically this is a Incest game in the Landlady Roommate format, and horribly written. For most games like this that I played, the landlady roommate style is done so well, that you'd never know there was incest, but not with this game. This game gives full Incest vibes, and while that may be great for some, it annoys me, as I am Not Into Incest.

The animations are very well done, and that alone is why this game gets 2 stars. There are also times where, you choose an option and you still get the dialog for the option that you didn't choose.

My rating may change if I do another playthrough, after some updates. I do like the romance and femdom in the game.


0.7 Edit: No changes on my review, but I am going to give the game 3 stars, since I can edit the script. I edited the script and removed all of the half words. Now the roommate is called roommate and not half roommate.

Another one of those that when it started u thought well maybe and now with regular updates I look forward to them all. Just coming into its own with many girls and very entertaining, I can't say the story is anything special but it's enough and keeps you engaged. Fun game.

All characters are beautiful especially Maddie, Becca, and Tanja. A game with good animations. The story is the strongest feature in this novel, it makes you care for the characters.

Good points :
1) Content quantity
2) no ntr but harem and romance
3) Girls for all tastes, from abs to Neko or from big to flat boobs
4) Good time between updates

Bad points:
1) can be repetitive ( jokes, dialogues, sex positions, etc)
2) girls instant attracted to mc
3) Tanja's pet route

My New Family is a beautiful crafted love story for the whole family (literally)

All the girls fall hopelessly for the MC (YOU!) who seems the be the most caring, gentle and full hearted person on the planet, precisely what you want in a Harem VN.

The girls have a wide arrange of personalities and body types that will suit anyone's taste, you can get it on with all of them, or a select few if you would like to do so.

For example we got the lovely redhead Sandra, MC's half-roommate who is shy but a adorable cutie. We also have Lucy ( Another redhead, fuck yeah!), the MC's other half-roommate who just happens to be a tsundere Neko that calls the MC a pelican, win-win I would say! And what about the lovely motherly hen Becca, a caring but guilt ridden landlady that will surely reach your heart (She has silly hair though, but don't let that bother you.)

These are just a few examples but believe me, you won't be disappointed!

All and all this is a very well-made and heartwarming VN that I gladly recommend to anyone who just wants to have a good time.

Like our homie Hobo mention before in his review, use the special code: pelican. This is a must!!!

My new family is a feel good story

It starts out with MC being in a rough spot of his life(which most of us can relate to in some way) and tells the story of him finding luck with his landlady(mother), half roommates (halfsisters), friends(cousin), neighbor(aunt), boss and co worker xD

It has all you need to have good fun, sexy girls, hot milfs, redheads, a neko, "Roommate romancing" incest and not a single other dick in sight to ruin the fun

If you wanna play the true story that is hidden like in my spoilers, then use the password: pelican

A wonderfully well written and slow story that gets you attached to each character. Ready for it to be a full story, but not ready for it to end. Just felt this game needed more people playing, never felt like i should rate one of these before, but i just enjoy this one so much.

An excellent game still in development, very promising so far. looking forward to seeing where this is going, the storyline is highly complex and makes your choices actually mean something. Hope this come actually gets completed and not just abandoned by the developer.

story: really good.

gameplay: meh +1.

characters: well done.

music and ambient: is amazingly well done and with a nice variety, but need more ambient sounds.

scenes (erotic ones): hot, but a bit short.

draws and animations (cg): good and with a nice variety.


conclussion: ok, this game is like a relaxing travel, is not about the hot scenes and cute womans, but more about the story and the nice developing of the plot.

this game deserves your time and money.

psdt: yeah, the plot sometimes is weak, but c´mon, if you want to
spent a nice evening, this kind of stories are the best option.

Tested on version v0.3, so I hope there will be some serious improvements later on. I will be short and talk about strengths and especially weaks points.

Strengths.
+Rendering.
+Good animations
+Well done characters.
+Some choices.

Weaknesses.
-Choices.
Giving the opportunity to make choices is good, but giving remarks on choices like "chicken, gay, coward" for characters that might not be interesting, it does not have to be there, in addition to getting us out of the game.

-History.
Simple stories do not bother me, but here it's reduced to the most extreme. A naive Sister, a Mother crying all the time, a broken Aunt, the only original is the little neko sister.

The game is not bad, it could be worse as much better. I'll see later how the game evolve.
Good luck to the Dev.

Really good game with likeable characters. It´s more like a "feel-good movie".
Of course you can decide to be not so nice to everyone, but that´s not the main goal of this game - at least for me.

Tested: V0.3

Pros:
-renders
-good animations
-story, storytelling
-mostly natural conversations
-good music and sound
-amount of gameplay

Neutral:
-choices (but for me ok)
-few spellings

Cons:
-sometimes some repetitions
(TV watching, mom changing clothes after coming home etc)

I liked to play that and look forward to the next update!

It's good at times and then it falls flat on it's face, but then it gets up and dusts itself off like Naruto and tries again, I guess in that way it's endearing. I'm enjoying some of the storytelling for the most part and the quad-earred catgirl made me fucking lose it. Some parts feel rushed, like 'oh I guess I am in a relationship with everyone now,' felt kinda anti climatic.

Choices don't seem impactful atm, you pick the right answer or you pick the wrong one and miss that scene, as for consequences it just means you miss out in the long run so, duh pick the right choice dummy!

Few other things: clothing choices are pretty strange at times, all the characters have very small eyes, maybe it's just me, but I seen the tit slider was used on every character so far and aside from Madeline every else has very small eyes. Now that I think about it, they all have pretty similar backsides too, like is there no ass slider, or thick thighs in HS? I haven't really dinked around with it much tbh.

Tl;dr game has heart, but needs polish and meaningful choices and perhaps some more player agency overall.

Very nice, hoping that you can get intimate with all the girls without getting busted as more updates roll out. I enjoy sweet ones like this, gives a pleasant sensation. This 200 input minimum for reviews is ridiculous.

Beautiful game. Lovable characters that, to me, have a wide range of expressions and interactions that breathe a lot of life into this story.
The renders are top notch, the animations look crisp and the developer knows how to create good moods around his scenes.

Every time the MC went to bed, I hoped that there would be one more day to play through. I'm invested in how the story continues, great job!
