VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Parental Love [v1.1] [Luxee]

TLDR: Game's ... allright, I guess.

Disclaimer: Played and rated the patched version, some criticisms might not apply to a non-patched game.

So, let's talk about the positives first.
The game is finished, finishing a game is an achievement in and of itself.
There are multiple endings which make sense in the context of the game.
Ran into no bugs, the visuals are consistent, solid english in texts that have about the right length. Some of the adult scenes are pretty raunchy.

Why only three stars, then?
Well, first there's the visuals. While consistent, they also look significantly outdated - it might be an artistic choice, but it didn't appeal to me very much.
I also didn't really like the look of many characters, but that's of course subjective, so it doesn't facture into the score too much.

And then ... I find myself repeating that notion a lot when it comes to incest themed games - in my opinion, the appeal of the kink relates to it's forbidden nature - it's one of the last true taboos. So, when you go and portray incest as the most normal thing in the world in your game, your squandering most of what makes it appealing in the first place.
And that's what happens in this game. Early on, it's nonchalantly revealed that the MC had his first time with his sister and has been going at her ever since. Consequently, none of the daughters really take issue with the idea of falling in love / getting it on with their father, and start doing so pretty rapidly. Even secondary characters who learn of this shrug it off.
The exception being the mother, unless you ease her into (the choices you have to make seem kinda random) it it sets the player on the path to an ending excluding her, but that's about it, it isn't like she goes to the police or anything.

Enough rambling about this, if this immediate acceptance of incest by the game's protagonists doesn't bother you, I guess it's a solid effort, not too long, but also not too brief, as mentioned with multiple endings to shoot for.
I was torn between awarding two or three stars, but ended up opting for the latter, since, regardless of squandering it's main asset, the game can be enjoyable to play.

4/5 story (well thought-out even if slightly rushed to be fully realistic)
4/5 models/visuals (no animations, except slight clipping)
3/5 kinkiness (mostly consensual vanilla sex)
5/5 enjoyment (I loved the characters and their personalities)

A masterpiece. Incest, cunny, preggo, multiple endings it has it all

and made by an aco user. Legend stuff really must play for everyone

The story is pretty much nonexistent but who cares really. It works as is no issues here.

Played many times, each update each time i started from the beginning.
One of the..forget it..Only hottest and most arousing AVN of all time (along with where the heart is and A mothers love). This was one hella ride and i definitely kid you not fellows. The characters and renders are absolutely gorgeous and the intimacy omfg will make you go crazy. Oh yeah, highly recommended to everyone who didn't try this out yet. Animations are worth your time. Luxee has hit this out of park.

I never rated this game, what a shame. Let's do it now.

I loved, like really loved this game at the beginning, models are so cutes. The story is not really original, but well not this bad as well... So yes, deserved a 4 or 5 Stars fpr me...

But, yes but, i played few weeks ago the 2 or 3 last updates i never played, and it was like all been rushed. The story, the ends... The wife who suddenly accept an harem?? and then it's fucking party at home?...

I was disappointed, cause i loved this game seriously.. Or maybe i am waiting for bette now that i played some new games? Or my tastes changed?.. Who know. I keep 4 stars for this game cause i had amazing memories to it and for once, a game i enjoyed who finish with the tag : [Completed]

this was the best ren'py game i have played so far! funny, good story, though the graphic cold have been better.
although in my opinion, if ADA could have been 14 and Elly 16, should have been moor interesting. 12 is a bit too much!
in my opinion the main story was short, probably because of the other branches of other stories.
thanks to the developers.
regards.

i finished this game a while ago
i am surprised to find i didn't rate it or review it
I love the wife so much
the big daughter love relationship was fantastic
the Loli girl was the cherry on top
such a great game
will be sure to follow the creator's other games

If I'm being honest, this was strange... Some of the kinks really turned me on, some didn't, the story isn't good (It's a porn game, so I don't really care) and it gave me mixed feelings during most of the game.

But damn, this is an experience. I really think that most people should try and play this game from start to finish. It's not the first game I play, nor it's the first kinky game, but it's worth the try.

it was a very reasonable game. it did give alot of second hand embarrassment and was pretty predictable sometimes but its a fucking porn game at the end of the day so there isn't much to complain about in those departments. the character models where pretty damn good, some more than others but thats really a preference thing. Kind of wishes it had a little more flexibility with choices and scenarios. all in all a pretty good game to just relax through maybe cringe at sometimes but ultimately enjoy at the end

Quality game, well worth giving a play if you’re interested in the tags it has going for it. In a sea of incomplete, abandoned and on hold games and so many rushed games that get labeled completed, this is a game that is actually done and tells a full story. The lewds are good and the girls look great.

Lol I saw one of the comments said that he wanted to see some mature takes on divorce and relationship. You will find none of that here. You got in your wife's pants in the first minute of the game. All the males besides MC are horny rapey bastards only exist to make sure you are the only available love interest. The girls all fell for you easily and out of nowhere too. All in all it's pretty generic, bar the loli stuff.

Version 1,0 of Parental Love:

Story: The story is.... okay and Straightforward. It isn't 'wow', but it isn't bad either. it's a very cliche VN harem situation where a father figure enters a household full of female family. You have a couple of choices that will direct the story and decide the ending you'll receive. The writing is good and enjoyable. I couldn't spot any spelling errors, phrases made sense and build up the different situations coherently.
That being said, what the story lacked a bit were what I like to call 'sugar points', specific out of the ordinary situations that make you curious and excited.
There is one story arc which didn't make a lot of sense though. It was farfetched and didn't make a lot of sense. One last point that I wish to make is that at certain times, the MC realizes almost as an afterthought that what he's doing is pretty illegal. I'm really glad that it's been recognized but it could be done a bit more smoothly and more consistently. I can't escape the impression that those lines have been added afterwards. Either way, happy that the author has the balls to add it.

Characterization: The Characters are all very standard, and nothing too wild. You have your caring, insecure mother, your pushy and assertive older daughter, your shy and curious younger daughter and your zany and cheerful sister. The 15 year old friend though was an original addition, and I liked her, though she didn't had that much time to shine. for most part, characters act consistent and according their age (though your 12 year old daughter can sometimes be a bit 'wise' for her age). Nothing really that jumps out in a negative or positive way

Art: The art is okay. Nothing fancy, but nothing bad either. all characters look cute and beautiful. That being said, sometimes the surroundings are 'modest'. The Kitchen for example is one an area in which there are quite a few scenes, but has only a table, fridge, cooker and one small low closet. The living room by comparison is much more tastefully designed.

Verdict: 3,5/5, compared to other material here on F95, this is a pretty good game. nothing WOW, nothing that will thrill you, but it'll satisfy all your little kinky needs. My advise is to spend more time on the story, script and dialogue

Basically all my kinks roll up into one big incest burrito. One of the best incest-themed VN available. Personally, very few surpasses this one. Very heavy ageplay involved, theres also a disturbingly dark moments in there. Might be a bit uncomfortable for those who can't handle them, there are a very clear evidence of physical violence(not by MC). All the models looks very beautiful. Get the feel of the story and don't be lazy to read, otherwise it'll get pretty boring. This is a loooong VN, so if you're a lazy reader, this game ain't for you.

THere are a few problems i have with this game.
First is the absence of any sort of sound. Obviously i can put music from my side on the pc while playing but having a ingame music helps to have the right tone for scenes.

Then there are the girls. I like their models but all in this VN feels so static as if i was watching images. There is no appearance of movement in the scene dialogues, no direction.. it's just character standing there while the text changes.

it gives a weird vibe.

Then there is text. The author do not know about "." . He uses commas, interrogation marks but no dots at all. It's very disturbing.

The first thing I realized was that this game had audio. No vocals, bgm, or sound effects of any kind. That was kind of a turn off at first, but I did start to get used to it. There are no animations either. The closest thing to animation were a couple back and forth still frames and they weren't very good.

In my playthrough I mainly pursued the older girl, Elly. All I can say about her really is I wish she was a bit more hesitant. She falls in love with you really fast and without having to do anything really. I think she's like the default route.

I discovered that there are 5 possible endings after reaching my first. I only played to discover one more, so 2/5. I was impressed with the amount of rewriting and detail that went into the alternate routes, but wasn't interested enough to spend the time it took going through them all. In my second playthrough, I was expecting an immediate game over screen when I encountered what I thought would just be a quick end, but instead it went down this extensive alternate epilogue and narrative and it gave a new perspective.

I don't know how varied the endings are in regards to time completion, but I would estimate all the routes average about 3 hours each. Much faster if you're completely skipping seen dialogue.

There's a decent small cast of characters who are close to you. Whichever route you pursue, you're bound to spend some time with everyone. Playing the other routes reveals more information about the characters and the world as a whole.

There were a few moments where I felt like I should have had a choice but didn't. And there were moments where I didn't know why my choice mattered or what effect it would have. The ending you want may be difficult to get to without a guide. Choice impact can be vague and maze-like.

The cop was hot, I don't know if she's in one of the routes, if not, wasted potential.

Well not much more to say except that the game more than delivers on the featured tags!

Yes the story is a bit ridiculous, but let's be honest we don't play these games for the stories lol. If you like family-harem games then you will certainly not be disappointed! If not, then this game is probably not for you.

This is a good game and completed too. The characters are good enough and you get more than just 1 scene for most of the characters. There is a gradual progression from the characters liking you to loving you to sex. Although mainly just for 2 characters and its not the best but it better than most games. There are different endings too. So basically this game is better then average but not great.

Parental Love is a marvellous game with a story a little "cliché" but which goes very well with the fact that the characters are well written and different. Personally I prefer more linear stories but having multiple endings is fun, it's fun to discover new events and personalities that leads you down another path. A good point is that during the story we can feel that the choices you made is somehow very important and impact-full. Furthermore, like I said before, we have a lot of content that add a little something to the base idea, nevertheless, I feel that the story is half realistic and unrealistic with the characters intention and reaction. They seem a little lost. In brief, like all my reviews, I will enumerate the pros and cons according to me.

Pros
-The graphics are top notch.
-The story is well written and fun to read until the end.
-The characters looks great.
-Plenty of sex scenes.
-No bugs detected.
-Multiple endings.
-Realistic bodies.
-Full of content without being redundant.
-A lot of different fetishes.

Cons
-Can't change names.
-Story a bit cliché.
-Animation a bit stiff.
-50/50 in realism.

Graphics : 10/10
Characters looks : 9/10
Characters personality : 7/10
Story : 8/10
Animations : 6/10
Sex level : 10/10
Fetishes : 9/10
Originality : 5/10
Realism : 5/10
Fun while playing : 10/10

Final note : 7/10

Parental Love is an excellent game that you need to try, and that's why I'm writing this to give my opinion on it. It's a good game to look for a lot of good and well made sex scene with a lot of fetishes. Of course, it contains a good story with several twists of situations that will help you continue and wants you to learn more about the next situation.

Keep up the good work!

This game has incest and loli, yes. If that isn't your thing, there is still even one path for you to play. I didn't!

I did the 3 of them, the total Harem, the Ada plus Ella and the Sister (just had to do it). The Total was OK until the ending, too much in the sex scenes as in many harem games. The Sister I did even if I didn't like Jenna, nothing more to comment on that.

So my favorite was the Forbidden, maybe because it was forbidden. Well, some countries, Christian, in Africa has 13 as the llegal age. So, just nearly forbidden there. They could have included Sofi, then it would have been perfect. (Need the Incest patch!)

I like the humor in the stories. The grahics and the girls are good, the lewd scenes could gave been more lively.
