As I said, the mother is the only major difference there. There is no douchebag stalker motive but there was that scene with a pizza guy that had the same vibes. Plus the boss is not black and he's a dick. The rest plays out the same. This game is not a perfect copy of DMD but the main tropes are there and they are very obvious.

You can said same for PL and Melody too.Even BB have some of those things.But that don't make them clones.Even Fertile and Mating isn't that much a clone.
A lot of devs seem to be copying from more well known games but what i find weird in this particular game is that - as you have said it yourself - it has too many resembles to DnD. I've noticed that there is the same 1:1 expression used in this game and in DnD, it's the "worried" expression where the girls press their lips closer together.
Now i know that there are many presets in Daz3d or whatever but I've never seen that expression used anywhere else besides those two games.

The secretary here is a totally different character than your assistant in DmD, only common thing between the daughters is that they use red lipstick and are innocent (which is just a porn cliche), mother in this game is actually a well featured and important character, so there are 2 main romance interests, not just 1, the boss is different, there also is no "best friend in work", MC is not an "incestuous hillbilly LARPer" like in DmD, because you don't use your daughter's naivety and stupidity to try to get intimate with her for no apparent reason, but here the relationship is way more normal, organic and healthy, there is no creeper (one line from a pizza guy is just one line, not a character), both games have different style of character models, MC and the female characters don't have any history here, and the intro scene has only one similarity, which is luggage.
Same things are daughter's naughty friend, you helping the girl get a job and some usual porn game/romance VN cliches like character tropes, shopping for clothes and showing them of, accidental nudity, etc, that you would expect in every other game, and both authors use the same expressions and some DAZ assets, which isn't copying, since a lot of games use same assets, because not everyone can afford to buy a ton of them. Porn is based on tropes, btw, so there will always be plenty of the similar tropes in porn. And a good porn creator does what he knows people would like, so that's why a lot of them take inspiration from previously created content. Most porn falls under some already established pattern. I don't really like DmD that much, because it kinda creeps me out, but I played the first part of the game (till ep. 14 or sth, ending on the airport), because I wanted to know why is it so popular.
Oh, and to the guy who started this topic: come on, dude, "her whole getting into love with MC is the same and kissing mechanics too"... that's the whole point of every VN... of coarse there are levels of kissing and the main girls get gradually in love with the MC XDXDXDXD You are really grasping for straws here. XD And "shower scenes where MC thinks if what he is doing is right", everybody does that IRL XDXDXD So why the hell woudn't also the MC in more than one game. XD
Oh, and the last thing, I loved how in Depraved Awakening, there was a parody scene with a "horny son and his equally horny mother in a clothing store" cliche. Damn, what an essay. XD

If you haven't seen Castle, then this was a scene where he realized that he had nothing to say or no idea how to respond. Speechless.
I love when they say "Update is at the end of the month" and then wait until 30th/31st day 11:59pm to publish it...
End of the month is span from 25th to 31st and it has never been that 25th day, it's either 31st or 1st of the next month.. no hate but it is just annoying

Welcome to software development!
"End of the month" is 11:59 pm on the last day of the month. Always. (well, almost)

Just want to add... that the best friend looks mighty familiar. The name is familiar too... Beyond that... a lot of games have similar premises. Pandelo does good work... which is why the game stands out from a lot of the also-rans.

While I don't agree with your premise about a rewritten "copy," I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for using effective examples to support your claim. The internet would be a much better place if more people took the time to actually make the effort to back up their claims with evidence. No sarcasm--I'm being serious. These are thoughtful examples.
It's just that if you look at the two games as a whole, and then in the context of many other games, and then in the context of porn tropes and cliches that go back 50 years, it's just not accurate to allege that this game is some kind of rip-off of DMD.
