VN - Ren'Py - Abandoned - My Sweet Neighbors [v0.12] [Pandelo]

"My Sweet Neighbors" continues to impress with its latest update, v0.12. Pandelo has crafted a charming and immersive visual novel that balances engaging storytelling with well-developed characters. The plot follows a protagonist who navigates life in a new neighborhood, building relationships with various intriguing and multifaceted characters.

4.5 stars. Beautiful renders, animation in all the right places, intriguing story. I personally don't like stories that try to be overly dramatic, this one doesn't. Plus, you can easily see what impact your choices have and simply go back if you don't like it. Deducting 0.5 stars because only in the first sexual encounter, MC is given a choice how to finish. Would be great to have this more often.

Definitely a good game for its time. The models are excellent. The pacing was a little fast for my liking but the writing was generally good.

The big drawback is that is has 50,000 one-option choices. Having to click 'kiss her' followed immediately by 'use tongue' for the 10,000'th time when there is zero other options just ruins any enjoyment

Probably one of the better games when it was started back in 2017. Games have progressed and the standard has gone up. Even so, this game is still above average in 2023. I dare say a lot of the games in 2023 can take this game as an example of getting the basics right.

v0.12

Didn't even realize this VN was from 6+ years ago. It definitely was done well for its time.

You play as a divorcee dating the widowed mom next door, while her daughter is crushing on you. There are other women in the picture too, like her daughter's friend and your promiscuous co-worker who is sleeping with your boss. The main story is essentially about building your relationship with these women.

The initial romantic pursue with the mom was too sudden. You go from strangers to full throttle as official couple in honeymoon phase despite her telling you she wants to take it slow. That said, the relationship was adorably romantic. The other female characters serves as more of a distraction and an ego boost.

Main highlight is the daughter, she crushes hard on you and the both of you are stuck in a dilemma as you fall for each other. You'll be courting and teasing one another while trying to keep the forbidden relationship hidden in sight. The jealousy aspect from the daughter is refreshing. I wish more VNs include the jealousy factor in a harem rather that have the love interests being fine with every competition.

I can't comment much on the models, renders and animations as the game was from ages ago. To be fair, it was probably top notch years ago but cant compare to today's offerings.

Its not a groundbreaking VN but it was good for its time, I'd say better than the rubbish we get nowadays.

one of the pioneers on F95.
Absolutly great VN.
Nice slow & secret buildup with the daughter.
Nice and fast buildup with the mom.
Both are totally believable.

A real shame the developer abonded the game and i still hope to this day he come back and finishes his legacy.

charming and engaging visual novel about some secret relationships, the writing is great and the renders are good. considering the fact that this game was made by one person it's a very impressive project that was suddenly abandoned due to the creator's disappearance. the game ends on a cliffhanger and we can only hope for the dev's comeback. must play, 5/5.

My sweet Neighbors v0.12 [ abandoned ]

This one is another nice which is abandoned. There is nice character progression. Not a fuck feast it progressed in a nice pace. Both main female characters are good, Mom and her daughter. There is also some nice side characters too. Enjoyed the game while it last. Enjoyed teasing moments and some nice dates. When it became more interesting it got abandoned.

There is another game inspired from this which got render quality greater than this. If you like this one try that game too. Mom and daughter is very nice in that new game

Great game! It has a fairly simple storyline of a man slowly seducing his neighbor and her daughter. Both the mother and daughter are fantastic renders, the escalation is perfect, and the sexual result is done well.
The game's choices are fairly straightforward and it's just a matter of choosing between mother, daughter, or trying to tackle both.
It's a shame that this has been abandoned as it is a promising title and the game was of good quality already. Despite that, there is enough content to make it feel about 75% complete.

Now this game had a lot of potential such a shame that it got abandoned. Story is really short felt more like an intro but is very realistic. Main characters are very likeable & convincing. I really enjoyed the fact that MC has to make the love interests fall for him through his actions(especially when both r together most of the time) & then only can he do the deed.

This is the game that I always come back too, it just hits every aspect perfectly for me.
The dialog, story, facial expressions, models, personalities, just everything is great.
It's a real shame this game is abandoned. :/
If you haven't played it, I envy you! Play it.... Play it now!....

RIP to a game that had great potential, with a compelling storyline and nice visuals Thoughts and prayers to the developers since it was said he had family issues around the time of the abandonment

To say I was sad when I hit the end of this build would be an understatement. I really liked this game. The models are great and the story is good.

I also really like how the characters "move". Either every sentence or every other sentence has some kind of movement from the character on screen in some form or another. It isn't just a single static pic for the entire conversation. I really appreciate the work the dev put in to make the characters feel more organic and human.

My only real complaint is that all but I think one sex scene is doggy style. It would have been nice to have more variation. But it doesn't ruin the game.

I'm really sad this game is abandoned. This is the kind of "get to know you" variable slow burn kind of game I like. Hopefully the dev will come back and finish it, but even in it's current form it's still well worth a play and I highly recommend it.

Cute characters but very bland story with no way to avoid hooking up with the mother for example, forced choices all through sucks big time, why even make it a "choice" to click when there's only one option...

As development stopped and I read praise about the game's current state I gave it a try. Well, I couldn't help but wonder throughout how this received such a high score. Maybe this was decent back in 2018 but better games have come out since then.


Story... there isn't really one. It's a character driven get-to-know-eachother. Which works if the people in it are interesting, but they aren't that memorable. And is the story finished to a satisfying degree? Nope, the thing cuts off before it leads to anything substantial.

Characters... You spend most of your time with your two neighbours. The game wants to offer the pretense of a (step)daddy/daughter relationship but I wasn't convinced. Dialogues are okay, but not entertaining enough to desire more. On the plus side, the girls look hot.

Sex... Well, the game ends before you get further than a bj with the 18yo. Other than her you'll mostly be with her mother, who gives herself quite quickly so there's plenty of nookie with her. Can't say the scenes with her excited me though.


In sum, I have been spoiled by better porn games.

Usually i never play abandoned games, but the models really make me in. and i'm not regretted, story and characters was really incredible of course i'll play again and chang my choses
Very RECOMMENDED although it's abandoned

Really enjoyed this game, like many other incredibly sad to see it abandoned before completion. The existing content is excellent and should still be played.

Character models are good, story is reasonable, and sex is generally satisfying. This would have been a great addition to the genre if finished.

What a pleasant surprise this game was! I had avoided it because of the Abandoned tag but decided to give it a chance after all. The two main ladies are really beautiful and sweet, you can't help liking them.
The sex scenarios are pretty cool, there are quite a lot of sex scenes and the animations are good despite the fact that the game is less than 2GB in size.
The story is ok, you'll wanna keep playing to see how the relationships with the various girls evolve.
And a big plus for me is the fact that we're not spammed with the MC's face, this makes it easier to feel it's you the one having those experiences. I wish more games did this.
I definitely recommend this game even if it's not complete, it has become one of my top 5 for sure.

This certainly was a good one. Shame it probably won't see the light of day again.

The game felt very natural, something so many VNs don't attempt or fail to do so. It is extremely impressive to have pulled something like this off. The game is a slow burn, but very entertaining. Lots of VNs have trouble keeping the attention of the reader, including myself, but this was not one of them for me. I enjoyed reading all the lines, seeing the characters interact, learning more about how they feel with thorough but well placed inner dialogues. It just is a good mixture of good storytelling and competent writing that is very hard to come by.

That combined with the good renders, realistic setting, non perv MC just makes a surprisingly unique game. Hopefully, one day, this game is picked up again but in spite of it being dead in the water it certainly deserves the 5 stars in my opinion. Even the ending was decent. Obviously I would love to have seen what happens next but I don't mind stopping where the dev decided to leave it for now.

Definitely play this if you haven't just be prepared for the great ride to come to a bit of an early end.

For it's time (2017) it's visuals were quite good unfortunately it's 2019 and since then the renders look very dated. Multiple games have also since been developed using the same rendering models which made an orginal interesting game bland.

The story is boring and overdone with a "silver" that can potentially get in the way. The mother is extremely easy and despite the renders is the main love interest.

Overall when accounting for the dated visuals, lack of an overarching story, and the now abandoned state I can't recommend it to anyone. 2/10
