VN - Ren'Py - Abandoned - Our Fate - A new family [v0.15 SE] [CedSense]

So, I've held off a long time on this review, perhaps partly hoping there'd be some mistake made so that my review would sound more balanced. Sadly Cedsense and team gave me no such easy options.

This is one of the easiest 5 star reviews I've ever given, and it reflects the 'whole package' of the game - but the central thing about this game/VN that sets it apart is the story and writing. Don't misunderstand me, there's nothing 'wrong' with the artwork, but it is there to enhance the story, not lead it.

The characters stand out immediately - especially the MC. Where most games will give you a blank slate of a protagonist, stripped of all personality and character, so that you can self-insert, this game doesn't go for such easy and lazy methods. Here you get an actual character with a life to play.

Cedsense has also rejected the stereotypical sidekick buddy for comic relief. Instead you get the services of Ray, who's an ex-cop with a dirty reputation to live down to, and who does so admirably. I know I really shouldn't like Ray much, and yet somehow, I kind of do. He's a crooked thug ... but he's my crooked thug.

The story branches early, with a choice over whether the MC is generally a nice guy or generally a domineering one, and again over whether the MC is pursuing a relationship with Claire, the girl who comes into his care, or not. These 4 paths are quite distinct and give a significantly different experience.

The writing itself is charming, expressive, and enjoyable. But for me what truly sets this game apart is the level of attention paid to character. Each character is not just different from all the others, but more importantly, believable and relatable.

Of course, at this point of review, we haven't truly gotten to know the villains of the story - their motivations and characters are still something of a mystery. It may yet be that those villains won't be quite as believable, not making choices we could see a real person making... But based on the attention to the main characters, I'm willing to suspend disbelief and see what Ced delivers.

Overall, this is a character-led, story-driven VN with very distinct paths that deliver very different experiences. If you like to read, to think, and a good story, then I think you will adore this game as I do. But if you regard text as merely the delay between sex scenes, this isn't going to be your game.

The girls are hot, the story is emotional, and the progression is great. This game almost made me cry on several occasions, it's rare that I find such an attention grabbing game, it's a diamond in the rough, needs some refining, but it's still worthy of a five star rating. I await the next update with bated breath. I can't wait to see what happens next!

Drawing: ok. found the women in here hot. no specific one stood out to me though

story: enjoyable

Sex scenes: Okay, more animation needed with better quality and could be better with erotic scenes

played it and was not bored but neither was I blown away

This game is special. If you want a quick fap, look the other way, but you will be missing on the best plot i have ever seen in a Porn Game. It's like it's not a porn game at all, it's just a Visual Novel without any kind of censorship. The renderings are stunning, sometimes bluffing, but the animated sex scenes have a much lower quality to them. Be warned that there is a lot of textual descriptions, and you have to be into that kind of thing to fully enjoy the game, even if there is A LOT of still renders. The personality of each character is perfect in every way, and feel as realistic as possible. You do have the feeling that your choices can have a big impact in the end, which is always nice as well. I can't wait for the next updates.

Seriously, this is one of the best games I've played in a long time. I went the corruption route and I genuinely feel sorry for the shit I'm putting my "assistant" through!

I love the models in the game. They're not all big titted DDD bimbos. The MC is a fucking MASTER of manipulation.

Can't wait for the next version. Well done, dev!

i would really like to give a 3 stars to this game because i dont like the mc look but the girl is so hot and the story is just amazing and it is rare to see a plot like this in a porn game , well done keep up the good work.

A great story that draws you in and feels very realistic. Fantastic models that look more like real beautiful women and not cliché caricature bimbos. A "slow burn" type story that gives you some rewards, but more importantly keeps building the interest, tension, and excitement as you move the story forward. Choices seem to actually matter as well, and a decision you make could have an unexpected pay-off down the road. it's already been a real pleasure to play and I really look forward to the next release! I'd definitely rate this as one of the best out there already. I hope we keep seeing more of this level of quality as we move forward

I came here to fap, not to shed tears!

This game has one of the best stories out there. It gets you attached and invested in the characters and their story. It makes them feel like real people with real problems. Perhaps too real!

The renders are great and there's plenty of content, but not fappable content with the main protagonist for the love/friendship/romance route I chose. The buildup will definitely be worth it in the end! There are lewd adult scenes but the animation and characters you can interact with, aren't that interesting.

It certainly is a good adult game, but it needs time to shine.

There is some lack of fappable content but don't let it discourage you from giving it a try! You won't regret it!

Review of version 14a. I don't often review games on here but I think that this one absolutely deserves one.

As a quick note, when I say "her" or "she", I'm referring to the girl that the story revolves around, whatever you decide to name her.

I played this game when it first came out and honestly I didn't like it. There was a lot of dialogue that didn't seem to go anywhere and there really weren't any sex scenes. Also, it seemed to be another Dating-My-Daughter type of clone. Having played it again recently, all I can say is: Holy Shit! Now, I think it's amazing and one of the best games out there in general and the absolute best corruption game that I've ever played.

I'm not usually a fan of the "slow burn" type of games because too often they take the George RR Martin route and you're waiting forever for the plot to move along, only you rarely get a payoff that's worth it. Here, although the story still hasn't gotten to the "main course" yet, the quality and realness of the story makes me look forward with anticipation with what's to come. I usually skim through the text in the these games to get to the artwork but here I not only read through all the text but I played the game 6 or 7 times to see all the different routes. The story on both paths flows naturally and you get sucked into it much like a real novel because you become invested in the characters and the unfolding plot. It really does make you appreciate the sex scenes more on both routes.

The artwork is also high quality and the women are beautiful without looking fake like they do in so many of these games. Don't get me wrong, there are big tiddies and big asses to be found, but they're done naturally and don't look like caricatures. They actually look like real women. I'm giving bonus points for giving the option of being either the dominant or submissive one in the relationships with the various women. If you like to take charge, that's here, and if you like her to take charge, that's also here. There's quite a bit of sex in it now and harem lovers will have a good time.

The romantic/good path is surprisingly good. The MC has a well defined personality and has realistic thoughts and dilemmas. He's very easy to relate to and you can easily understand his temptation he's faced with even if you're happy with the relationship that you start out with. The choices you make actually matter and often I paused to seriously consider a response. You feel good when you do the right thing and dare I say, a sense of emotional fulfillment. Due to the depth of the relationships in the game and your attachment to the characters, I would recommend that netorare lovers check it out and keep an eye on this game. There's potential here for real heartbreak down the road. Having said that I have to say that the MC is no pushover though and you kinda feel like a silver-back gorilla or lone sheriff protecting his people from the various villains in t he game. This is not just another Dating-My-Daughter clone and there is a real romantic story here. Your actions do matter but you don't control everyone so anything is possible down the road. There's potential here for both happy and unhappy endings.

The corruption/bad route is absolutely outstanding. As I said earlier, I think it's the best corruption game that I've ever played. No "peek on her in the shower and then she catches you masturbating" tropes that you usually see. I'm talking cold, hard corruption done in a deliberate and methodical manner. The MC on this route is like a pimp slowly turning a girl out through calculated manipulation. The MCs thoughts are actions are hilarious and again realistic and well written. Whether you're aiming to turn her into your personal love slave or just a very promiscuous slut is up to you. If you choose to keep her, then you're given the option of sharing her so the the options of whoring her out or having her do porn, anything really, is possible in the future. (Swinger types take note.) The MC can be a cold and hard dominant and based on his behavior with other women, the journey of training her how to keep him and possibly other men happy is going to be fun. I thought the romantic route was very good but I was impressed with the dark humor and masterful manipulation on this route.

It's surprising to have such diverse and contrasting routes in the same game and have them all work well but that's a testament to the quality of this game. There's no grinding of any kind here and I thought it was pure fun no matter how I played it.

I didn't mean to write such a theadnaught but I really enjoyed the game, I think it's one of the best out there, and not only should people play it but they should go to Patreon and give these people some money to keep its development going.

Five stars.

I am not done with the game yet but I have played for over 6 hours and I going with the romantic route. This game is incredible, the story is the best I've seen so far, I love the characters, I love that you can have 2 playthroughs and in the future even more. The dialogue is excellent and you can really see the emotion in the text. Character building is very good. Renders are pretty good, not the best but it's good enough. I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT, I've played hundreds of incest VN porn games and fucking god damnit I actually think this is the best one so far. I've seriously gotten teary eyed 2 times. Thank you creator, I love what you have created.

Horrible review but I just wanted to express my love for it.

This review is based on version 0.14a.

This game belongs up there with all the greats. It does something sadly too rare these days, it takes its time. I can understand that it's frustrating on one hand to have to wait for a long time for sexual scenes, but it helps makes the relationship between the MC and the daughter believable, and makes the story that unfolds between them all the more rewarding.

The renders are excellent and fitting for the story of the game. It keeps it grounded in reality while keeping its appeal high at all times.

The writing is exceptional, especially considering the branches. Too often with these games it feels like the dev intended for one path to be taken and the others receive little care, even leading to characters forgetting what they said just a line before because the paths were not merged well. I've played through three very different paths and never felt the presentation was hurt by any of it.

Simply put, what this game has is quality. You never feel like it's lacking in any area. And it's probably one of my all time favorite relationships in any game.

Very good game!
Story is amazing! Dialogues are very nice, you can really connect with the characters. Renders are fine, animations are surprisingly good(despite being strange lol). Sex scenes are really erotic!(writing) Really nice job.
Now, the bad things:
There was no way for me to take the romance path with my daughter in this game. It felt wrong from the very beginning. So thats very disappointing...but developer knew that and left you a choice. Great work! But it kind of ruins the purpose of this game... Hence the 4 star!
Also, I took the path of dominant, no bullshit guy and it didn`t seem to go well later in the end.
So small note to the dev:
Hopefully some girls will like that path and some wont... If that was the plan then keep up the great work (and being cold to many characters in game I felt like good choice but...).

Excellent game, very original and interesting story which keeps you " glued " to your screen. Nice and beautiful graphics, and interesting choices to make. I like that game have only two paths to follow, so no to many branching.

A very good start for this game.
The story and characters are original. The graphics are great.. specially the main one, very hot. I just think she's maybe a bit too much prude/angelic/innocent... but I guess she will gain in character (in personality and perversion) as the story progresses.
the updates are quite slow... but i know that been impatient is the sign i like the game

Out of the several dozens of indie VNs I've played on F95, this takes the cake for having excellent writing and atmosphere, with a great design for the MC and Clare that looks both unique and attractive.

This VN is a slow burn, and for some people out there looking for quick gratification, it may be "too" slow. But for others like me - it's perfect. I want the build up, the anticipation, the tension, because it makes everything else that much sweeter afterwards. If you came to just get a release, there's any number of other games around here for that - heck - you should just be visiting a porn site in that case.

This is also one of a few games that actually has background music, and very tastefully selected music at that. I would recommend you to approach Our Fate with a nice glass of wine - or whatever beverage you prefer - and slowly let the romantic atmosphere sink in.

I never rated any Adult VN so far. But after playing it i wanted to do this.
The story line is good, I mean really fantastic. It is neither like any other visual novels where the main character just have sex soon after the first meet nor like the novels where the MC establishes some kinky stuffs and then gradually begin to do more naughty things eventually ending in sex.
It has a strong storyline . With music playing in the background occasionally i feel connected to the game very much.
My request to the developer don't give importance to sex, rather the dev can give importance to keeping up his work on building the story further. One thing I feel a little bad is the animations can be better. Also the main characters (the daughter especially) can be even more appealing.

Brilliant graphic work. Animations not bad. I like how sound effects were included and actually work! Engaging story most of the time..
Story writing flows well most of the time.
I can't wait for the next instalment. Thanks.

Hello Cedsense,
This story is truly a pleasure and stands apart from most other VNs. There are only a handful of authors/developers that focus on the relationship between the characters rather than what should come naturally as the result. I classify developers as follows: those who place the horse in its rightful place before the cart; those who place the cart before the horse, the latter barely clinging to life; and those who just shoot the horse and sell it to the glue factory. Anyway, I appreciate your work; you've gained a supporter. P.S. A pronoun here a contraction there never hurts. <smile>

Story was nicely different than others games, nice orphan story. How ever there was not so many choices to make that would have influence to the gameplay or the story. What was actually incredible was that how much there is content in this early release. Also it was kind of addicting trying to get something going on with your ex girlfriends daughter, there was plenty of "almost" situations for a kiss, but still even there was a huge amount of content, still not a single kiss. Hopefully there is a change for that to in there future releases. No bugs or anything like that. Game has good quality graphics.

Rating (out of 5)
Graphics: 4
Story: 4
Content: 4
Gameplay: 4

Great I Like it, especially character development in this story, well it's succeed in representing feeling of each character, well I mean between Father and Daughter. just my personal opinion other female character design it's good but to far if compared to daughter character, so it's play in our mind to just pick daughter, hard if must choose other character.

overall it's Good you should play it, thank you for creating this game.
