Ren'Py - One Week Away [v0.4.4] [kmmgames]

(Review of v0.4.4)

An overall average effort at a mom/son story with both together at an hotel for a week. The basics are already poor with some renders being repeated in the beginning of the story when the next is supposed to be displayed. Then there's the fact that mom is too forward, the writing is barely decent and inconsistent in several ways:

* While you're both at the park, the narrator says you put your arm on her back but this doesn't really happen on screen
* The morning after the MC jizzes on her tits and she jacks him off, he gets all self-conscious in the shower because oh no! she wants to get in while he's nude

Too inconsistent and lacking a proper build-up for me, not to mention I don't believe a mom would lust for a son looking this young even in a fantasy. She looks hot in most renders (some are botched too, showing impossible curves) but that's all there is to it.

Excellent game for Mommy lovers!

Mommy is such a sweetheart, you like her in just seconds. Hot too, but not some mean bitch or something like that. The whole game feels what romance should be, but not without the tiresome elements, like after 30 hours of play Mommy screams how dare to look down my cleavage or something like that. No. Its only 0.4.2, but yes, you have massage, handjob, blowjob, etc.

The game has music, very soothing, and some sounds too. It also has animations, what could be better, but oh well. My only complaint that I feel somehow the boy face is on too much scene. I'm sorry, when I see some sexy time, I don't want to the boys face, show us Mommy!

Currently one of my favorites, hope this will be a long week!

good job! Look likes a mom game trans-verted from something novel. What I like about this game most is that it focus on the mom-son relationship, unlike some other games claiming they're mom-son relationship game, but actually is game of herem. that's not good.

Ok, Played the latest version for the first time touching this game (4.1) As of right now the game is average. If this is the first game from the Dev then I must say it's really not a bad effort and they can only improve on here. Top marks I'll have to say lie in Animation. They are still somewhat lifeless and as someone previously said in the reviews, they start off being eh, but by the end of the third day, you can really see improvement, at least he's trying. Great job, Dev.

Now everything else I'll admit, i'm nitpicking but still need to be addressed. The premise and story is ok if a little unrealistic. Events are rushed, there's little to no build up and these charactors just seem to fall into each other quickly. I think part of the issue is that they have only a week together so they don't have time to flesh out a good story.

Renders and Visuals seem disjointed. some of the expressions that a lot of the characters do kinda are uncanny. They look funky in some shots and often times, they look off camera when they're talking (Which is the devs preference, i'm sure) Some of the early models, like the waitress in the sushi bar and Ice cream truck girl look very plastic. they have no contrast. Main Female, sometimes her hair is lighter in some shots and darker in others and is it me or when she's in the pool and her hair is wet, she almost looks younger than the MC?

Also, small nitpick. The body of the FMC is not my style. I'm not a fan of the extra wide hips with the large ass. I know some people dig it, I get it but to me looks quite cartoonish. Everything else about her is fine.

Overall, a decent first time project. I hope that if the Dev continues to make games, they'll take what they learn and improve greatly. I can see good stories in the future.

for the 0.4.1 update it's a good game if you are seeking to get good renders and animations.
But you have to find some other game in case you want to have a good reading and interesting plot.

with that said,

I give 5 stars for renders
3 stars for the plot
2 stars for the mc
5 stars for "Landlady" MOMMY
5 stars for animations

What I would love to see, is some other characters and maybe way more deep story. it's okay and not fun to read at all.

Hope to see some new locations and interesting characters and make mc older! good luck

This one is on the lower side but not terrible and it is certainly improving in some ways. My main gripe falls in with the story, in that it goes really quickly through a lot of things and it's not believable nor is there much of a seduction into it. I'm sure some people will love it for that, but to me it takes me off and it seems to sometimes shift speeds a bit from a pushing son to a more submissive or doubting one, without real reason. Choices also don't seem to matter almost at all, beyond a few little extra tidbits here and there, but not in any meaningful way.

Render quality is all over the place, some places (specially the first restaurant) have terrible render work with low-quality textures, and a lot of the scenes as well. Others are more decent, but nothing incredible in any case. Animations begin really poor (as much as I like kissing scenes, the first kiss animation is atrocious) but they do improve substantially, even if they still are a bit basic. I took out the music as usual so can't comment on that, but there are a few sound effects here and there which add to the experience. And at least in my playthrough of version 0.4.0 there were no bugs, which is always great.

So, all in all, as it stands now it's not really worth it against the alternatives. But since I do see good progress being made in some areas, I'm not dropping it yet to see how it evolves.

Great first game from the dev. There's room for improvement, but hopefully this leads to the dev polishing their skills and making a second game.

The renders are good quality, not grainy, but not overly detailed. Fairly typical for stock assets. The story isn't anything groundbreaking, mom and dad fight, mom turns to son for comfort. But for a short intro game it has a proper progression without 15 updates of buildup.

My main criticism is the dev needs to work on proportions and positioning. You can have a big butt and chest while still maintaining the laws of physics and realism. It's not bad, much better than half the big ass games out there, but something to work on. On the beach when she's lying on the towel she looks like she's doing the downward dog yoga pose with her ass 2 feet off the ground. The kissing animation also I don't think their lips touch, it's just two separate models kissing the air.

There was a very obvious continuity error as well. The first night she removes her deep V shirt that goes down to her waist, and is clearly not wearing a bra. But when she takes it off, she's wearing a bralette that she absolutely wouldn't be able to wear with that shirt. Simple things like that would benefit from a peer review before the official version release.

v0.3.6

• the premise helps get into action quick; also steamy
  • but i didn't bother reading much of the dialogue since i couldn't take the graphics and sfx seriously
• some scenes have their moments where it looks pretty good but it looks like most of the energy went into the attractive milf
• her design has a lot of sex appeal, face looks good, reddish skin is a good touch, but her ass is disproportionally round and big
  • otherwise the rest of body looks fine; she has 3d nips too
  • personality is superficial but i like that she took little convincing
• animations are plain bad and ruin any sexual scenes - too mechanical, i'd remove it than have animation if i developed it
• stock sfx used is comically exaggerated making any scene lose seriousness

i like how sexually driven it is; progressing at a steamy pace; and the outfits you dress the milf keep it fresh. graphics and audio could improve.

I don't usually write reviews for unfinished projects, but some games are worth reviewing at an early stage. This is one of them. The plot, dialogues, graphics and script are top notch. There are choices, but not as often as we would like. I recommend reading this project. Thanks to the developer and we are waiting for new updates!

I love this! The pace is good, the chemistry between the 2 main characters, you feel the love and excitement building up. Can only recommend! I really enjoyed this and can't wait for the next update and what is left in store for the viewer. It seems like both will explore their needs on a whole new level.

Version 0.3.6

Story is as simple as they come. MC creeps on mother until they start to fuck.
Writing doesn´t make much sense. Mother is strong woman who argues with the father with passion, but when it comes to the MC, she does act like a teenage lover. Mothers behavior can be anything from caretaker to teen-in-heat at any point, and it is very confusing. There is no natural change or explanation why these two people start to have sexual relationship. Regular "just roll with it" story.
MC is normal sleep raping creep who just wanna fuck. So undeveloped character whose life goal is to suck mothers tits.

Mother looks good. But for every nice sexy picture, there is a weird face picture that makes you question if reading this is really what you wanna do with your life. Sex scenes would be ok for a game with better story, but in a story that is 100% about this one sexual relationship, they are not good enough.

Simple story, poor writing, ok pictures. But with sexy mother, it is almost acceptable.

VERY GOOD GAME!!!
The romance between the 2 is very well done. The pace is amazing to when it comes down to the romance starting and escalating.

The only gripes I have with the game are 2 little nit picks from me.

The story while you are reading it may seem a bit off when you look at the characters, since they are either in a different position than what the story elements may hint towards

ex: The male mc being at the edge of the bed, but instead he is actually standing by the side of it. Same with how it talked about his pants being hard to take off even though he has underwear on in the scene.... Not even a big deal tho so eh.

I lied make it 3 nit picks lmao

The mc's dick size.....based on how thicc the mom is you should have added about an extra head length to the mc's dick. I could get into to why....but it would take a long time typing out... I mean iykyk

Some of the moving animation scene are really rough to look at...Like when the mc is rubbing her pussy it....holy that back and forth run back is hard on the eyes.

All in all I hope the creator later on can maybe go back through some animations later on, and touch them up so they are smoother. OHHH I also hope that if you do wanna add the other female characters into the game as sex options....I hope they are 1 off if not 4 off scenes at most. Maybe give bonus scenes with the mc's...landlady if you decide to stay faithful to her.

If you do wanna add threesome route options.....GL with the writing to curve the pateron dick heads about the censorship bull shit. ALWAYS GOTTA RUN THAT PATCH iykyk

Amazing game.. Good vacation story which is a bit realistic. Immersive and non grindy. You can feel with the characters. Models are decent but story is the one that captures you. Worth a shot if you like the genre.

With so many new games barely delivering any content and promising more than they deliver this one is off to a great start.

I loved the dynamics and heartfelt story. Look forward to the next update.

For an initial release (with apparently one update) it's off to an okay start. Few grammatical errors, renders are not amazing but certainly decent. Models are attractive enough, though facial expressions for some scenes could use some work. The dialogue and story writing are not bad but a few times there were some rather awkward and just nonsensical moments. I'm not entirely sure it's worth a 4 star rating, perhaps more fitting for a 3, but it has room for a lot of potential and happy to give it a bump to see where this one goes.

this is not that bad nor a bad story renders are okay but story its much longer than it is now i get that it is just starting out and all but it could get better in time as it progresses . but what it is lacking is choices their are no choices thus far unless it is missing a tag or two it is the only thing that is holding it back for those that like story driven choice based VN otherwise it is not to bad . in fact it is a kind of unique twist or take on the whole m/s incest which i find refreshing but i have seen similar stories but not many so it is still unique in that regard and if done properly could be pretty good to great .

One Week Away is an ambitious incest game. The beautiful heroine is a big motivation for me to play this game. Although traveling alone is a bit old-fashioned, this game still attracts me because it has a more reasonable reason and a beautiful heroine. I also like the stockings she wears. Please continue to update.

VERSION: v0.1
SUMMARY: Porn logic story with half baked everything else....
RATINGS: (out of 5):

1. Models: 4
2. Animations: 3
3. General Visuals: 3
4. Characters: 2
5. Story: 1
6. Writing: 1
7. UI & Gameplay: 3
8. Content (amount): 1
9. Sound & Music: 3
10. Fetish & kinks: 2

Average: 23 of 50 possible points giving a 46% rating i.e. 2 stars.

PROS:

1. Decent enough looking models
2. Music and sounds are good for immersion, but not good in themselves
3. If playing what I believe is intended story i.e. incest game, the MC and family at least somewhat look related, making that more believable.

CONS:

1. Some renders are poorly done with regards to model interactions e.g., father holding beer glass with open hand...
2. Silly writing and cheesy dialogue that is so forced and bullshit to try and create a narrative that is totally unbelievable. e.g. dynamic between MC and "wife"
3. Dialogue box opacity setting would be nice.
4. Poor story planning and scenes are nonsensical. Also, the MC is already clearly depraved and seems to have no reservations screwing around with his fathers wife, no lowering of any inhibitions, simple porn logic bullshit.
5. Music and sounds are basic and not very good, sounds like MC jizzing sounds like someone pressing grapes but in a cartoon...
6. This version is done before it started having very little content.

FINAL OPINIONS, THOUGHTS & SUGGESTIONS:

• Game starts weird, clearly we are meant to understand there is a fight between "mom and dad" but when the MC comes down the dad is having a beer (yet complains to wife he needs to get to work?) Wife sits next to him like they having breakfast and she is going out for dinner) The whole scene feels setup wrong like its evening and not morning...not sure what the dev is trying to do here but its not working for me.
• "Wife/Mom/Landlady" "looks annoyed as fuck" yet no render, she looks fine, neutral...bit lazy here and more renders would be appreciated.
• Added to the scene not making sense, the "woman" dressed in dinner clothes, is gonna make our MC food, she stands up from the table (that has fuckol on it BTW) miraculously drops a fork she got somewhere, after equally impressively gives the MC his breakfast that just appeared too...again WTF is the developer doing, this is just lazy planning and writing. Think about what your scenes are trying to convey, think of your player so that it makes sense to them, maybe it makes sense in your head but not the player, sure as shit not mine...
• Personal gripe about the MC, the wifebeater shirt and "bruh" way of talking...fuck me its cringe worthy and added to that, its not really believable that the MC would talk that way, considering the household he comes out of, his family are well off and he looks to be rather well educated, at least by the intro and going to college etc...maybe im just out of touch but its really bad.
• Also wife and husband are having a spat while sitting next to each other? again, scene is just wrong, nonsensical. The whole event and plot point that the husband simply shrugs the wife off, the way its done is so blatant and final that I find it not hard, but impossible to believe a trip was planned in the first place, people don't act or speak that way simply, there would have had to be a fair amount of discussion before then. Its just unrealistic and poorly planned writing.
• The husband is also written out so easily through the MC taking the "wife" on vacation instead, no effort to convince her was needed, its all too forced, planned and unrealistic. The MC also acts like his "mom/landlady" has never bent down in front of him, again indicating the MC is actually a depraved pervert, but also the ways its written, the player sees the MC get up the morning and now is simply like this? Goes from normal college kid to depraved motherfucker in 2.5 seconds, haha record...
• This game is basically and simply bad, visually not bad, needs some polish but its story is total horseshit and the dev needs to rethink their approach with this. If they passionate about VN games like this, stop and redo it, else you simply telling players you creating a simple game to bait simple people to spend money and support on. I would not support this.
