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

This is easily one of the highest quality visual novel style games on the site. It's simple and to the point, the artwork is solid. Any time I encounter a frustrating game here I can boot this up as a simple breath of fresh air.

In fairness I should point out some criticisms, but they're honestly just nitpicks. Lighting/character models are a little uninspired, although in fairness they seem to be still learning as the newest renders in the game are by far the best.

Also the visual novel system can get a little bland. Click your text, make your choices, go down one branch, load and try the other branches. It's uninspired but it works. And frankly I keep playing it so it obviously didn't ruin the experience, I'm just saying other games have managed the same format in more interesting ways.

Overall the developer should feel really good about their work here. Since this one's about wrapping up, I encourage people to follow whatever they move on to next.

The first few chapters showed more promise than virtually any game I've played to this day. When the sister showed up; the tone changed a bit, she was clearly kind of a "catalyst" used to jump-start the real sex.

And everything was perfect...right up until the last few chapters. The renders were amazing, the story was great, the MC was an alpha...it was everything I'd looked for in a game. Thing is, for first couple years of development, the official story was that pregnancy would be an included, optional fetish. And that's fine. Not my thing, but as long as it's optional; great. Give people what they want.

Then all of a sudden it became clear that there was nothing "optional" about it. The choices you made were virtually meaningless, and all of a sudden the game was allll about getting the girls pregnant. At one point one of the girls is literally objecting to you cumming in another girl's mouth because "the cum needs to be saved to get her pregnant!" And then talking about periods and cycles. WTF?

What the hell is supposed to get me hard about the promise of the young, tight bodies I've just gained access to suddenly stretching out, getting stretch marks, followed by torn vaginas and finally crying, screaming babies that grow into children you have to divide your time to. Dude ends up having 19 kids. You think you're going to have *any* time to enjoy your little harem with 19 kids? That's hilarious.

I were to review the first several chapters, this would be a 5-star game. If were to review the last few, straight up 1-star. So I guess I'll average it out and give it a 3. So disappointing.

I am not sure whether I was able to check out and find all possible ending variations or if they exist, but I made up my mind that I can't really make up my mind about this one.

Let's get started with the easy part. That would be music. There isn't any.

Graphics: surprisingly inconsistent. While the character models are generally good, sometimes lighting or positioning or whatever gives them a major drop in quality all of a sudden and goes right down into the uncanny valley. Wife Emily is probably most guilty here.

Gameplay: well, this is a VN with decisions. There is a kind of a mini game when you have to fight off some guys, but that's it. However I will include one of the strong points of this game under this section: while many VNs will have you collect some unseen relationship points and similar, but go through mostly the same routine no matter what you do, except for maybe a game over if you're doing too badly, here there are noticeable differences in dialogue and also in the available scenes. So multiple playthroughs do not feel as repetitive as in other games.

Story: Well, it depends a lot on which route you want to go down. The "honest husband" line is by quite some margin the shortest route but it generally works fine, if you will accept that this is the opposite of a "slow burner". After decades of not meeting you'll go to 100% family man (with unhealthy kinks) within a day, and even though there later is an explanation that you have had a lot of prior online contact with your wife (which should be pushed up a bit IMO, so players will wonder less), the pace of this is somewhat rushed. And by "somewhat" I mean "incredibly".

The story gets way more out of hand if you play Elly, and Ada even more. Also you cannot have (or I haven't found) real solo endings with both of them, there's always somebody around. Especially the Ada ending seems tacked on and you have to go full crazy harem to reach it. It's escalating rather quickly.

Characters: pretty one dimensional. MC is an asshole but the game doesn't really consider him one (and I don't mean the incest part, that was a given from the start). Wife wants you back because you have a big dick. Sister wants to fuck you and doesn't give a shit about anything because you have a big dick. Elder daughter is emotionally unstable and has no defining characteristics at all except for being interested in your big dick. Younger daughter at least has some perks like being an avid gamer but at the same time falls into one of the worst clichés: I get that 18yo virgins are more the rule than the exception, especially in this kind of game, but the utter lack of knowledge about anything sexual is stupendous and just doesn't happen, especially when the parents aren't any crazy religious people or similar (which they aren't). Never masturbated, never heard many expressions, doesn't know what sperm is? Quite unbelievable.

Even worse is her friend Sofi. A self declared lesbian, she claims to be immediately interested after seeing your big magic lesbianism curing dick. Which would be bad enough in itself but unfortunately the author forgot that she was overtly sexual towards you a couple of times before. Yes, she has a kind of (completely overdone) backstory which may help explaining this approach, but still there is a huge disconnect.

Also none of the characters have any development and apart from Ada's idea of qualifying for an online tournament no defining characteristics apart from "want to fuck MC". There is a quite ridiculous stalker story interwoven with the main plot but it doesn't really affect the way people are acting.

H scenes: they felt very off to me. Like the equivalent of IKEA sex in non visual novels. "He then inserted his penis into her vagina to her great pleasure." While they're ticking all the boxes, it never felt special, it never felt romantic or engaging to me. First time with your daughter? Same stuff. Yes, you go to some kind of romantic place (if you decide to do so) but there's no chemistry, no spark.

In the end still three stars, for me personally they would be fewer, since it does some good stuff like player feedback on decisions and it delivers on the stuff it promises. But if you're looking for a game where you will look back on the characters afterwards, reminisce the story, you're probably wrong here. It's just porn, and the graphics aren't good enough, the characters aren't interesting enough, the story isn't immersive enough to make it a viable alternative to real porn.

Finished the harem ending. This game is simply pure porn, focused on taboo (mostly incest). It doesn't try to be anything else. If you are looking for something more refined, you should keep looking elsewhere. But this game is good in what it proposes: a fucked up porn fantasy.

Lots of sex scenes. Most of them felt just a bit too short though. I have seen better renders with better angles as well. Still, it can be nice fapping material if you like this genre.

This starts out fine enough, with some clumsy but serviceable writing. Feels a bit like wish fulfillment and, as is kind of required by the subject matter, cringy in parts and emotionally unreal, but it works fine enough.
There were a few red flags to spot, though: Every male in the story (including the MC, but the game doesn't tell you that) is an asshole and rapist and Elly is emotionally completely dependent on you, in ways that are obviously extremely unhealthy, unlike many other games in the incest genre who seem to take extra caution to depict the romantic interests as independent.
I tried to ignore these things, but things really start to get worse when Jenna shows up – the narrative turns from being in a tricky romantic situation to you and Jenna planning manipulating your family into becoming your harem. The justifications presented for why this is fine are so flimsy and self-serving that it's hard to ignore that this is a power fantasy, where the main character ends up controlling the life of every woman around him. That he's making noises to the opposite effect with Sofi is kind of overshadowed by most everything else.
I tried to ignore these things, too.

Then the plot with Eric, Ada's horrible friend, happens. And how you deal with him, that's questionable – really, threatening to rape a 10 year old? That's supposed to be fine? And, you know, I tried to ignore that, which I cannot really defend
but then Jenna goes "man, I sure wish he would have called our bluff so we would have gotten to raping that 10 year old" and the MC just goes "man, I didn't hope that" and leaves it at that.

And it gets kinda noticeable that Jenna and MC are building up an abusive sex cult, where accountability doesn't exist and right and wrong are defined by whatever serves the MC, and you know, with all the shit that happened before I kinda think that my breaking point should have been way earlier.

Like, holy shit, guys, if you're gonna make a story about horrible sex cults, maybe don't pretend that it's all just a father caring about his family.
At least games like DMD and Sisterly Lust try to pretend that your romantic interests know what they're getting into and aren't coaxed into it by the MC and his wacky sidekick.

In short, its really good. The art could be better at some points, and could use some more fluid and a greater amount of animations but overall the writing makes the game really interesting and fun. Im on my second play through and the story takes significantly different turns depending on you choices. Highly recommended, unless you are turned of by the theme of the game.

[Rev @ v0.99]

Art's nice and intent is nice but the implementation gets in the way.

Like the art. The wife's model gets a bit uncanny valley in the face and hair, but for the most part everything is appealing.

I don't know whether my rant belongs in the writing or game mechanics sections and I feel like it's a combination of both. To get the best (harem) ending, the player has to make some very unintuitive choices and generally behave like a lying shithead in the early game. There are a couple of "u wot???" unforseeable asspull plot turns (lolol u been bangin yer sister for 30 years lol) that make me dislike the narrative. Otherwise the plot is mostly agreeable, voice is good and dialog manages to mostly avoid cringe.

Most of the porn is appealing, some endgame scenes are fuckin nice, and only a couple veered towards things that turn me off without actually dwelling on it.

The mechanics side of my gripe from earlier is a very common one for the media used: I very much prefer the more modern point-based determination of paths versus the branching tree found here. The latter creates the very perplexing experience of complimenting your daughter in front of her mother at the wrong time creates an acrimonious divorce, but doing so at the right time gets all of them to jump into bed with you just a bit later. It's jarring and robs some of the otherwise well-done emotional weight from the story.

TLDR: The goods are great, and I don't have an easy or obvious fix for the bads, but they do weigh the experience down for me.

Writing this just after I finished the 0.99 patched version.

Whilst I can't ever see myself liking the situation the MC is in (the amount of orgasms he has on a daily basis makes me wonder), I thoroughly enjoyed this one.

If this is the benchmark for the creator, I am extremely looking forward to his/her next creation. I love the jokes (elephant in the room? LOL awesome) and the meme culture in it.

I have to say though, the latter part of the game feels really sped up. Would have liked a lot more anal scenes, and a longer pregnancy chapter. Having DP with strap-ons would have been awesome.

Yeah, there's a lot of "what-ifs" but only because the base game in itself was so interesting. Well done to the people behind this.

2 stars because the VN is technically good.
But the writing is poor. Sorry. For a parody it isn't humoristic enough. But this VN takes itself seriously it seems.

Without any effort every female throws herself at you (it was ten years you haven't visited your family? then came back and after 20 dialogue sentences everything is already forgiven and the whole family including your youngest daugther wants to get impregnated by you. No progression. No choices.

The MC is egoistic and weak, like his sister. The wife has no backbone, and the daughters are only there to have two more fuck objects.

Sadly no character progression and development. The characters are just fuck puppets, they have nothing interesting, no story. Not really a story. Ada and Sofi are the only ones with something like a story snippet, but not really a story. The other characters have no story. Just fuck puppets. That's essentially it. The VN feels like it's jumping from porn scene to porn scene and the writing's mostly only to justify the next porn scene.

I didn't like any character including MC. Either they are overly naive or just unbearable like the MC and his sister that try to corrupt everyone in the family without any second thoughts. And it also happens so overly quickly and in unrealistic ways.

If this is a parody and I didn't get it, then sorry. Maybe two stars are harsh, but it was just not good. This VN seems to catering to the incest and harem fetish in the most flat (and rushed) way.

If you want just that. harem+incest in the most flat way and as fast as possible without any story, then this VN could be for you. The technical side is good. Nothing special, but good.

With his other VN Apartment 69 Luxee seems to already have improved on every level a bit. Writing went better, story seems better, technical side a bit improved as well. Not sure how much, but that's at least that. There is hope. But this one here, just note it as attempt to walk and move on.

Wow.
I remember trying this when it was a very small game... Like back when the furthest you got was a hint of Elly liking the MC.
I don't know how long ago that was, but I never would have guessed it would turn into the story it was now.

And that ending.

I was too invested in the story to break it into sessions like I probably should have. Literally played the entire thing in one go.

For favorite character... I'd have to say Sofi. Ada is cute af and very pretty and taboo... But I feel like Sofi is just as pretty and has a deeper story. She could have easily had her own game with that story.

Art: 5/5
Story: 3/5 (let's be honest, the story can be condensed into a paragraph or two)
H scenes: 5/5
Sound: Was there even sound? None needed anyway.
Characters: 4.5/5 ( a couple things seemed forced or illogical)
Enjoyment: 5/5

So, 5/5 overall. <3

Disclaimer: This is totally an incest game. If you don't like that, don't play.

I did like that it added a hard to find kink of mine:

- Version 0.99
- Path Played: Harem(with patch)

First of all I really enjoyed the game and the following are my thoughts:

- Storytelling 9/10. The story is awesome. I liked a lot the connection between the MC and the rest of characters especially Jenna and Sofi. I enjoyed very much the reading and the closure is what I expected to be. Kudos

- Renders/Graphics 7/10. The renders are OK. I did not like very much the light the Dev used in the scenes but this is my personal opinion.

Overall I strongly recommend to play this game. It's time well spent and think the Dev is worth supporting.

This torment is ending ..
The author, as always, begins intriguingly, but later on - all the sexual content comes down to banal pornography ... which he watched on free porn hubs. Dumb and meaningless fucking, without sexual intrigue and, of course, tons of empty graphomania. I bet the next project will be the same. He has no imagination.

In addition to being *almost* completed ( and I mean that in every sense of the word), the story is filled with just the right amount of kink, character dev, conflict and resolution. Easily making anyone's top 10 list of incest game on this site. The *plot* contains just enough fetish that thread the fine line between being too much and too tame for any casual. The relationship dynamics is also a real highlight of the story with many situation that evoke intimacy. The different endings also tailor a lot of the focus as the player desire. Overall a would-be classic of western adult game for many years to come. I hope the dev will continue in their footstep and grow from this success.

It got a good story for incest game. The girls got time and development equally. The game got multiple endings. The content is long and choice is matter. It's doesn't has the best story, best model or best render but it has THE BEST HAREM ENDING. The end justify the mean this time.

This is probably my favorite game ever. It's like the author could step inside my filthy mind and pick out the most intense fantasies and turn it into a game. The only kink I have that wasn't completely satisfied is my fetish for watersports, would have liked more of urination content (yes, I'm an awful person, so what? It's just fantasies) So amazing. Thank you so much for this.

I didn't like this game, it is an extremely forced, sick and bad game. The story of incest is quite forced and stupid, I've played games a little bit like this one (DMD), but, frankly, this was one of the ones that made me want not to continue. The dialogues and the script are stupid, is something written by a 14 year old teenager. I can't see anything good in this game, maybe some renderings or scenes, but, I gave up playing it and I moved it to the recycle bin. I don't have much to say, after that game, I start to have an opinion about the incest genre, some are disgusting, meaningless...
I regretted downloading it and playing it.

Brilliant story-line. Loved as to how many choices there was as to how you could finish. Parental Love is a highly recommended visual novel.

Graphically sound & the animations was brilliantly done as well.

I do hope that the creator comes up with a follow up of some sort because it was just awesome.

Thank you to the creator for such great content and I hope others take notice.

I found the sister Jenna somewhat annoying and a little over the top, And very forceful (along with the mc) in corrupting the two daughters and mother. The only route that I actually enjoyed was the faithfull route as the mc actually grows a set of balls and puts her in her place! If this game would have been less about corruption and not been full of constant attempted sexual assaults and concentrated on building the relationships slowly and naturally it would have much more enjoyable for me but that's just my opinion. I wish I could rate this higher but the story is just so unbelievable throughout. One daughter is nearly sexually assaulted twice and the mc is livid but then goes on to corrupt her and even pretty much forces her to start having lesbian sex with his sister and other family members, And then you have the youngest daughter who has no idea about sex who is sexually assaulted in her sleep by being jizzed on for the mc then to go on and so called 'teach' her about sex just for his own perverse sexual needs while then also making her start having lesbian sex with her friend (who has also been sexually assaulted/raped) as well as other female members of the family, while he willingly allows his sister to corrupt everything in sight without being able to do or say anything about it, the story is forced on you in a way you get no say over any sexual scenes, meaning you will see exactly what the dev wants you to see without having any input into it, if it's going to be m/f/f etc and the mc 'enjoys all the women' or 'they all enjoy each other' that could be a choice, or when the sister forces herself on the daughter you as the player get no say over it when the daughter asks you when she doesn't want to kiss her the dev makes the decision for you this could be a choice. The story is put out there as a choice based game but it's not in my opinion the only so called choices you get are which one of the 5 different paths you wish to go down and only one of them is without corruption but you get raped for your troubles by the daughter who is egged on by the mc's sister. Like I said this game could have been great especially the harem ending if done correctly but the dev has used way to much of the sexual assault/corruption/rape aspects to get the story moving along instead of slowly building up the relationships between the family members. It's a pity as the characters are beautiful it's just the story and lack of what kinks/ sexual content choices you wish to see let this down for me.

Writing needs a serious amount of proofreading. Otherwise another erotic story that tries too hard to be deep and compelling while delivering the bare bones of what we come here for. Dropped after about thirty minutes of play.

You are an estranged father, tentatively getting back with your ex-wife to see what develops ... but what already developed were your daughters! Are you a responsible adult and maybe future husband again? You haven't seen them all these years and now you're living under the same roof as these three beautiful, eager women (younger and older). What to do? But, wait - there's more! You and your sister have always been very, very close and your family has friends they are close with, too. This could go all over the place, fast. And it does, but you get to decide on who gets most of your attention, to see where things lead ... multiple paths and endings and this game already feels complete - but it's still in development and ready to offer at least one more ending, hinting for another. If ANY of these situations and concepts interest you and wanting to see what happens when characters in an adult VN can be brutally honest or deeply manipulative, then try this game out. The dialogue is smart, it is often irreverant while deadly serious and always entertaining.
