VN - Ren'Py - Obscure Affairs: New Dawn [Ep.1 Plus] [sn00p]

To me it was extremely confusing. The overview talks about how the MC lost everything in a divorce, yet he seems super rich with his mansion, fancy car, yacht, and numerous sex partners. Also, if his ex-wife got everything in the divorce, why did he invite her to stay on his yacht and tell her how much he loves her and she was the best...etc… while he’s screwing her brains out. Also during this she’s cursing out their daughter but at the same time having her join them in sex. Then there are the other 6 or 8 females he’s having sex with every day..or so it seems?

The relationships, while customizable, are pretty confusing. It throws a lot of females at you all at once and you are supposed to have an idea how they should be related. Lots of games do this, I just think this one could have been done better. The overview lists characters that aren’t yet in the game so maybe some of them will be improved with how they are relatable to the mc.

Images, while really really good, tend to be a tiny bit dark. I still thought the females looked good as well as the backgrounds. Of course the MC has a horse dick and sex with many characters throughout the day. That got old pretty quickly. Not sure what the MC is on, but, 10 or 15 times a day? Or however many it was.

Needs to be spellchecked/edited. For example:
“Too bad we have little to few time”

Lots of females to have sex with and you are asked to accept/approve their names and choose an age for them. Quite a bit of discussion about this in the forum. I don’t know other than you, the player, are the one assigning ages so it’s up to you.

Foot fetish isn’t on my list of favorite things and that’s pretty much in every scene of this game. To me it seems way overdone and there were many opportunities to do something else.

There wasn’t much of a story. The mc just had sex all day over and over, which, was honestly kind of boring. Apparently the game has been redone a few times in the last several years so still seems pretty short. In time hopefully they will find their pacing and story. It might be pretty good then.

So, based on the artwork alone, probably 3 or almost 4 stars.
When you add in the story, confusion, and need for production help, deduct at least 2 stars.

Sorry so wordy....

Very interesting remake.
The graphics are very good and the girls are very pretty. The Mc forced a little on the steroids but why not .
On the other hand, the relationship between the characters is very quick, the end of the game will be just as fast, right?
Can't wait to see what happens next

I was sceptical that this redux could live up to the abandoned earlier version. In fact, if anything, the dev has honed his particular style. Don't expect much in the way of plot. Don't even download it unless you're into maledom of customisably related skinny young females, leaning into free-use, with a side of foot play. In that genre, it's up there with the best: a full-blown power trip where the script matches the visuals. The dev knows his audience, and he gives them what they want.

after "update" I can only say:

From shitty game with great models to shitty game with shitty models (big heads with small bodies like Funko Pop! toys)

the only good element of this "game" has been ruined, there is nothing to save here, except your own time

Zero build up to a story that makes no sense, there isn't even a real overarching story, its like a series of non-sensical vignettes stitched together randomly by a blind man.

MC is one of the most common MCs in VN history, its the bloke whose only feature is a huge cock, that's his entire personality, a body attached to a cock.

Renders are great though. Apart from almost all the girls being pretty much carbon copies of each other. Its like dev found a loli they liked and just hit repeat.

Sadly, the quality of the renders is literally the only redeeming feature of this VN.

The original:
Some serious effort was put into renders, but most of the scenes were quite out-of-context as if the plan was to piece it together into a coherent story later on. There were some changes in the character design, as I assume Patreon / Substar had some issues with the originals and then silence. Overall 2 and 1/2.
Suddenly - the remake. Still no story. Scenes barely in any context or connection. No old scenes are present or have been remade - completely different thing apart from the recognizable art style but... holy fuck, this a nightmare fuel now. The original models had some uniqueness and personality. Looked like "The Last Stop Before the Uncanny Valley" but far enough. The new ones are deep into it - they all look like Chucky. I saw a lot of different art styles, bad ones can be saved by a good story, and amazing ones be off-putting for some reasons. There's no saving for this one if it continues the "remake" way.

Well first of all, this game is pretty much all kinetic which was the last thing i expected after reading " The game is built on the choices you make" on page 1, all you do is set names/relationship like daughter or whatever and age, after that you fuck em, theres never an option to say no so its a pure mindless fuckfest theres no build-up of any kind, you meet a girl and 5 seconds later your fucking them, so might as well just use ctrl since story isent worth much either.

Same goes for fetishes they seem to be forced as well, so theres alot of anal, lesbian and so on and its never a choice.

Theres also just to many girls for game to ever give any meaning and could be why dev gave up on this as well, both on game and making a choice driven game as promissed.

The only reason im not at 1 star is due to it having nice art and girls looks good, same for animations they are pretty good but those two things cant drive a game alone.

As for content there isent really much and since its no longer in development it would be pretty pointless to use your time on this one.

A great work of art, every frame is endlessly evocative, and every update is extremely anticipated.It’s like reading a novel, like watching a movie, like meeting an ex-lover, like wandering between heaven and earth.

The visuals in this game are amazing. Not just the characters, but the sets and the visual design, too. Visually, sn00p is an incredible talent. Even though a couple of the household girls' faces aren't exactly to my liking, I love that they are distinctive, and prove their worth by having sexy bodies and being eager sex partners. That sort of thing elevates someone's looks, for sure. Even MC is stunningly gorgeous, though he's unreasonably well-endowed. I've seen breast expansion games that don't go as hard into the "huge tits" stratosphere as this game does into making MC's cock an inhuman monster. Normally I wouldn't care, because it's all so fantastic, why demand that realism? But, when he's inside of these stylized girls, who are all tremendously thin, it's obvious that only a 3D model could allow that shape inside of the body. You can't tell me any of these girls give a good blowjob. It's bound to be all teeth. As a lover of buxom women, this game was a bit of a stretch for me, but nothing like the stretching that the girls' jaws and hip bones had to endure. Still, that probably won't ruin one's enjoyment of the sex scenes, because at least the cock looks great. I'm willing to bet that more time was spent making his cock look good than was spent making all of the pussies look good.

What does ruin this game is the horrible writing. It's bad. Nearly every line is rife with errors, clumsy phrasing, wrong words, and gibberish. It reads like the whole thing was passed through translation software that couldn't handle any word in context, and then no one proofread it. It would greatly benefit from a full rewrite, or a translation from whatever this is to English. Maybe it's beautiful prose in sn00p's native language, I don't know.

Even if it were rewritten, the plot is uninteresting and thin. Here it is: You're a sexy man with unlimited wealth, and you have 4 very thin but sexy women living with you who all want your sex, all the time, and so you have lots of sex. So, if all you care about is watching very pretty images of a whale cock drilling over a dozen women, and you hate story, this is going to be your favorite game. Me, I wanted to work for a relationship or two, see some character development, and feel like I'm building toward a payoff. Instead, it's instant, constant payoff of nothing.

-- Edit: I should preface this paragraph by admitting I used a mod that might have allowed more options than the original game. -- I really like the flexibility of letting the player define everything. Do you want these young women to be "models" who call you Daddy? Or, maybe you want these women to be your "slaves," and to call you Master? Flip it, they are your "queens" and they call you Manservant. If the story were good, this flexibility might not work. But, since there's no real story here, your isolated headcanon can define the relationships any way you want.

As porn, it's hot, and visually outstanding. As a visual novel, it barely qualifies. If sn00p were to do the visuals for a very good writer's work, they'd both be rich.

if any game was in need of a skip button and for the damn dev to stop asking me to rename people this would be it. This has to be the most times Ive been asked to rename characters, define ages, and state relationships before in any game. Dude.......theres more clicking though the 100000000th blow job and name changes and weird scene shifts. Its simple, pick names for your own characters, finish sex scenes before starting another, and ffs not every woman needs to be built like a 13 to 17 year old. Some of them are built like this and have old woman faces. Its weird af.

There is zero build-up for the story nor an explanation how/and why the MC constantly gets into a situation where suspiciously young looking girls worhsip his cock. Way too many characters, with way too little things that seperate them. When a new girl is introduced it takes like two lines of dialogue until she has his dick in her mouth. It really feels more like a collection of spicy pictures rather than a Visual Novel. The renders are good though so +1 for that.

I'm a developer so I don't take points off while doing a review for artistic choices.

Throwing the MC with into a sexual scene with four young daughters with no explanation of how they got there is an artistic choice to stage a fap fest. That's fine, but it seems like its missing the point of the daddy/daughter sex scenario, which is the taboo relationships and corruption.

Putting adult faces on the girls' skinny young looking bodies, also an artistic choice, yet jarring.

What I couldn't understand was how this developer could take so much care with the renders, yet be completely negligent with coding and "story" continuity?!

We are given a four way choice of which daughter we want to blow us, yet only one choice is presented. How does that not get corrected?!

The oldest daughter says she's not sure who she wants to give her virginity to and then when the MC fucks her, there is no mention of her being a virgin. It's as if they've been fucking all along and he takes her from behind in a single frame.

This kind of thing just smacks of pure carelessness, and for that alone it deserves no more than two stars.

I normally complete games even if I'm not fond of them but this game was not for me and I left during Chapter 2. This is purely subjective, the render work is incredible from a technical standpoint, but I do not like the look of the girls,. Something is off about them that I cannot put my finger on, the faces are odd and everything is too bright for me.

Again, the work is great from a technical standpoint and there are fetishes here that some may really enjoy. However, if those kinks aren´t the main driver you'll find that the story is clunky, thin and altogether insufficient to carry you.

One of the best games in the world. Absolutely great graphics and style. Great sex themes. Bunch of guys, who doesn't appreciate that.
execution of this game, as I said is great: bunch of loving daughters, only slim bodies, only rich places for sex. Somebody can't believe in this game setting, but it works. Everything just mirrors a dev's vision, which is always a good thing, no? Definetely yes for me, it mirrors my ideas to this life too


It turns out there are scenes in showcase mode. and there are even hidden scenes for eliza (or diana? even this mod confuses them, haha) after watching at least one sex scene with her, two square windows appear on the right.
of course, from the point of view of the gameplay, you still need to find it .. and notice the pale interface on the pale background of the game,
but in terms of surprises, a nice plus)
upd. hidden scenes are no longer hidden in the new update, everything is good

Excellent quality and quantity of foot fetish content, in an intriguing storyline. The game presents several secondary characters to have sex interactions with, and despite focusing on young looking female characters at the beginning, MILFs will ultimately make their appearance along the way. Unfortunately, from my personal point of view, it lacks content with pantyhose / collants / nylons but this doesn't affect the game quality. This is a solid 5 stars game, that aspires - together with Beyond Persona and a couple of others - to become the definitive and inspired game experience for feet lovers.

Obscure Affairs [v3.20 Ultimate Edition] Rating: 2.5*

Pros:
Nice Renders
Good Character Models

Cons:
Story: There is not much of a story and the choices don´t seem to matter much.
You are basically thrown in to a Harem game, which wouldn´t be bad if it wasn´t for the next point.

Sex Scenes:
The Sex scenes are really short and look like he can´t last ten seconds, which is a shame because the scene renders look pretty good.
Very few scenes are animated, and the rest isn´t.
I don´t understand that, and it feels like the game was rushed in development.

Dialogues/Writing:
The Dialogues remind me of watching a porn flick with shitty actors that need to say the age or other stuff repeatetly during sex which is weird.

Obscure Affairs [v3.20 Ultimate Edition]

Nothing much of the story / game options at least for now; maybe need to check the further versions. Just too much crazy about fictitious sexuality.
If you are fascinated to explore the incest with the young teen daughters this would fulfill the thirst. This can be looked as the positive side of the game/story


Pros

• In case of dreaming about open incest with petite young teens daughters this will give the quench
• Excellent quality of image renders.
• Excellent quality of animations; especially mom & aunt riding the MC
• Playability and performance are all just OK no issue
• Good to notice little bit of seduction with the third party like Ashley

Cons

• Sound: Almost no sound except background music
• Nothing much of the story / game options left for the player
• Lack of genuine or more of fictitious for sexuality
• Missing seductiveness in sexual approach; Nudity and feeling between forbidden relationship like father/daughter is not expressed well. It’s taken granted as very normal/usual activity not forbidden at all.
• Grammar needs some improvement.
• Content is too less / not enough.
• Errors:
• Game options like ‘Checking her FACE’ / ‘Checking her LEG’ the dialogue following the option is highlighting the wrong option from the one you have chosen
• Mixing of italic font for thinking in mind to saying it loud
• No clarity about dreaming and actual especially the beginning of scenes with Ashley
• No clarity of the end of the story/game, it just ends after some dialogues, no proper signal as game end. Too bad

I want to like this but there are negatives. The renders are actually very nicely done. The girls though, they are too skinny, to the point of looking emaciated. And the faces, they are rather haggard and old looking. Maybe this is simply a preference for some users? Sadly, not me. It is way too easy to make much better looking girls. I do it almost every day with Daz. There really isn't an excuse so it must be a preference. Therefore, I will decline from progressing any further into the game as there are plenty of other options out there.

good start, but after 3.2 they changed the style of the game. It is Stille very pretty, but just another game. Nothing to do about it about the changes, this is completely up to the programmer/writer of the story

I will preface this review by saying I am not kink-shaming anyone. My reviews are based on the content and only the content. That being the case, I will say, right up front, this VN is heavy in the Loli domain. If that is not your thing, move on.

The four primary LI's, just by looking at body size and anatomy, are definitely per-adolescent, no matter what the author may claim. The two youngest LI's represent characters no more than 12 years old. The next two are maybe 14 and 16 or so. Now these are just cartoon characters in a fictional story, so no grief given here. Hard core loli is not my cup of tea, but I have my own kinks others may find objectionable so I am giving no shade on anyone else.

The art is good, especially the MC and the more adult LI's. The younger LI's look a little anorexic but not too bad.

There is little animation and it is rough at best.

The writing isn't bad, no grammar or typographical errors.

The real weakness in the game is the story, or lack there of. There is a lot of sex, tons of it even. No build up, no tension just nearly endless gratuitous sex. There is little plot. The characters are fairly one dimensional. The story doesn't build up the characters or make the player care about them in any way.

Some may enjoy the loli-fappiness. I prefer a good story as well.
