What I'm about to say contains some spoilers.
It's hard to say exactly what I think about this game. It's interesting and well-developed, but… nothing is ever quite what it seems. For example, even though the title "New Family" already hints that these people won't be blood relatives, it's still frustrating not to have the option to decide whether you want to pursue an incestuous relationship or not. Why bring up the idea of having a “mother” and “sisters” just to constantly remind you that they’re not actually your real family?
The game starts off making it seem like it might turn into a big incestuous harem — especially since things happen with your “mom,” and the way your “sister” treats you makes it pretty clear what the author’s original intention was. But then the female characters just disappear, making way for a bully who tormented you your whole life.
Then you think: “Okay, time for revenge!” But no — the author backs down and turns it into a big romance between the protagonist and the bully, who suddenly becomes jealous and overly affectionate. It makes you wonder if it’s even going to be a harem game at all.
On top of that, the author builds up an entire plot for a potential NTR, only to use it to further reinforce the romance with the bully.
My point is: the game isn’t bad. And yes, I know it’s still in development. But from what I’ve played so far, the author has put so little effort into the other storylines and focused so heavily on this romance with the bully that, honestly, in the next update, they might as well just finish the game and rename it "Dating the Girl Who Used to Bully Me."
To wrap it up, the main issue I see with this game is that it's hard to understand its identity. It’s a harem that seems to be moving away from being a harem, an incest story without incest, a revenge plot with almost no revenge, and an NTR setup that never really becomes NTR. So, what exactly is this game trying to be?
We’ll probably find out in future updates — and I’m looking forward to playing more.
