HTML - Completed - Patriarch [v1.2.2] [Oranos]

Original Review (1.2 after):

(0.8) Of the genre of games with garbage-tier story, characterization, and dialogue and gets by with purely copious amounts of sex with a large number of characters, this one is one of the best.

Really like the choice of porn clips selected by the dev, they're top notch and there's a lot of them. This is the best part of the game and basically the reason for all the stars I'm giving this.

The storytelling and overall writing is really bad as said previously. Sex scenes are pretty hot if you're into basically the narrated versions "pornhub frontpage" clips.

The gameplay is tiresome and basically forces grind to see pics. There's no strategy, management, or simulation of anything interesting. This would've been much better off with fewer progress blockers like date/night cycle, energy, etc.

There's a large number of girls but most of them are forgettable, and all the sidegirls have pretty much identical story progression. It would be dull if they were lengthy but they're all pretty short so by the time you realize you've just met and coerced into sex the 10th girl the exact same way you did the previous 9 it's already over.

The lengthier main quest girls have pretty similar storylines to the sidegirls just with padded out content. It feels like the same thing but just with interruptions in between where you can't continue the story until the next meeting.

Regardless, if you like rapey abusive maledom, this game has it in spades and is one to check out.

After (1.2):

3 years later the game's complete and I'm back to for a new playthrough and revised thoughts.

The main story got more extensive and there's a slightly more immersive power struggle storyline. It's now quite decent, no longer garbage-tier. Nothing wrong with it but honestly it's not enough, doesn't quite break up the game sufficiently.

Unfortunately the main content of the game which is fucking dozens and dozens of girls did not improve, the writing is still terrible. I don't know how it's possible, but there's such a thing as too much sex, every click is some story-lite casual sex. The progression with something like 40 girls is almost identical, and there's nothing interesting at all about any of them, very generic slop.

You have no influence about the MC - he treats all women like trash.

You can just visit locations and stuff happens - and you can at best refuse to take in slaves or participate in events.

There is no real guideline what to do next. The navigation is unnecessary complicated and you will return 1-2 screens to far back after you performed an action in some locations.

And the game lacks any kind of relationship tracking. You just get the massage "xxx likes you more" after you interact with them (never saw a negativ one) - but there is no screen where you can easy keep track of all the (generic) girls to see how your standing is (and in the best case who they are - because you cant remember them that well ^^)

Its a linear game in the sense that you dont have an impact on the "story" - you can at best change the order some locations unlock. The rest is generic stat (stats/money) grind to unlock more pictures without any meaning.

I revisited 0.8 after my last try at 0.2 or so - I guess later on there is now more content, but it is as boring and confusing to start as in 0.2 - so its hard to motivate me to grind thru all that generic stuff where I have to degrade women. Dont get me wrong - I dont have a problem with that, but I prefer games where it is MY choice how I act with the women - some deserve it to be slaves ^^

But here every women is just a stupid fuckhole for the MC - even his female half-family.

The pics here and the story is very good. Not fking convoluted like the other HTML games which I have played. Short and sweet, same goes for the pictures and videos used in here. I just entered the late game scene with the capo, so who knows what would happen?

But for now, im giving it a 4/5, one more extra star if the creator would actually offer some tutorial or direction in the early path especially the money generation side.

This game has a pretty solid premise with lots of potential. The only real criticism is that I would prefer to not have the same “text messages” appear on my phone over and over again, especially from Audrey. Once I’ve seen the text, it’s no longer new. I’m hoping to see continued development on the existing characters' storylines as well as more development on the BDSM/slave market side. At the moment, it seems that it’s a matter of acquiring girls and then the story ends when you have them. I think there’s potential to build that out so there’s more to do with the girls once they are yours.

Boring game without any story.
You start the game and dont know what to do. Why you need money? Why you want to build a harem? Why are you so mean to the girls? All you can do is going for destination to another one and still dont know what to do. Meet girl? Okay, but why?

Without a story this here is just a collection of a few porn pics / vids.

ps.: The girls looks extremly hot but why WTH are they all just some living sluts?

This game has no soul.

A harem of women ... without personality. Each of them is only a picture.

There is no relationship building. There is no interaction. There is no emotion. There is no passion...

The people here are just pictures.

It's a really good example of the html-sandbox-realporn genre. It has inevitable grind, but it's quite mild. So if you into it, you should check this out.
Some notes:
The setting, while simple and laughable at first, is actually deep in some places, and overall provides nice immersion to the game. Better than average real-life or mystery themes.
The pics are astounding. Game uses a lot hot and gorgeous models or amateurs, and it's a pleasure to watch. The downside is that not many of models have a lot of sex scenes, so often it's inconsistent.
But overall I can recommend to play it/ It already has enough content to enjoy, and dev doesn't seem to stop at it

This was the first HTML game I played and I gotta say I really enjoyed it. It uses real life gifs and images so you kinda have to imagine these fictional characters. But I thought this was fun. It was fun to explore the slave/servant kink which is the bread and butter of this game. My only complaint might be that the storylines of each girl are linear and all similar. You repeatedly spend time with the same girl to progress her story so it can get dull at times.

This game has a lot of consistency issues with the images. Might be better to find sex images where the face is cut off or not shown much to make it more immersed. Has a lot of influencer/onlyfans models but almost all of them aren't really used for the sex images.
Advertises not for the faint of heart but it's pretty tame in that regard. Mostly just dirty talking and a couple of bdsm scenes. Game is fairly easy, wish it had some more depth/puzzles or something it flesh it out but overall if you're bored it's kinda fun to click through.

Absolutely amazing game thus far. Engaging and the models are really great. I can see the Dev did their research It's one of the few games that i keep coming back to.

While as it is, the story is nice and catering to just the inner dreamer of most guys ( and some girls), and understanding its still v0.5, i would hope to see the game flushed out more. Adding all the options that the dev has given us thus far in polls. I know I'm being greedy but this has really good potential. Honestly, to me, this game is on par with BADIK and WYM.


Great Game and Hungrily( and hornily) waiting for more!

This game is just a fun ride. Great set of characters and a strong amount of content. There is some level of grind, but it doesnt feel too terrible like other games in this category. Great images/gifs, and the game creates a interesting world.

Having played through 0.3 and 0.4 i can say that the html game has a lot of content. And if running a crime family and dominating many different women is a thing you are looking for your power fantasy then this is the game for you. Will be looking out for more content.

even though I like these types of games ( spell for all, college daze) where you play a dominant male, this game fails to impress. You are rich, son of a patriarch but you dont have money to do anything. noone knows you, it is like you just came to the town. you have a slave of your own (why slave?) yet everybody else treats you like a school kid. you have to go through nonsense chores to do anything relevant. where are my men? where are my father's men?

Plot does not make sense and it does not encourage me to keep playing. Maybe it is me but i am tired of games where you supposed to be rich but do nonsense for couple dollars

Dialogue is not well written, often comes up absurd and weird. Women used are not attractive to me but that is personal.

I'd say for a v0.3 game that was released just months ago. This game has solid content. It gets most of it's strengths from the various high quality selection of animations. It gets a solid rating for using "amateur" girls or for lack of a better word, non traditional pornstars. Of course there's Aletta Ocean but she's really more of an exception than the rule. Another model I recognize is Emma Kotos, which does nude modelling but quite far from being a pornstar I think.

Despite giving it a 6/10 in story since it's really bare bones right now. I really think that this game isn't a story driven game but more of a porn driven story. Which is not a bad thing. Not everyone is DrPinkCake, and I'd rather have creators play to their own strengths. So despite that It's still a 5 star game for me. Since it gets the job done (which is to drain your balls).

Interface needs work. I mean, it works but it'd be nice to get a little system to take note of events and story requirements. Kinda like the cellphone in College Daze and Summertime Saga. Just a better hint system.

Oranos, you did a great job with this one. Hopefully you get the support from the community. Please churn out consistent and constant updates. You'll sure to attract more fans that way. We need more beloved creators because we already have too much cash grabbers out there.

Fappability - 10/10
Story - 6/10
User Interface - 6/10

v0.3 comments/rating:

Excellent content. A couple minor buggies to work out, but the content is solid (and supple

Great use of visual content as well. It's as if the dev knows what I like lol.

There are very few typos, which I really appreciate.

Progression is a bit odd sometimes, but I was not unable to eventually progress. For example, getting the college girls worked on was a bit rough and the clues were wrong (visit them at their house, but you have to go later in the day).

Overall I'd say a good 8.5/10 as of v0.3, but I'm giving it a 5/5 stars because I believe in the future of this game.

Middling.

Alright kinks, with adequate writing. No glaring grammar or spelling errors at least, which puts it above average in that aspect (sad as that is).

No real game, though. You have "Girlfriends" and "Slaves" so you'd think you could pick which direction you take each girl. That's what I assumed at the start since that's what most games of the sort do.

Nope. Its all predetermined. You don't really have a say in anything that happens. Everything is very linear.

You get to pick which girls you talk to when, but beyond that your character has their own personality you have no control over.

Really, you're just watching the story, rather than being a part of it.

And the creator's choice in porn is.... simplistic. Bimbo's basically. Fake tits, fake lips, the works. If that works for you, you might enjoy the porn at least, but beyond that, there isn't really much here sticking around for.

The gameplay - so far - is mostly standard text based stat padding. Nothing to write home about. Could be fleshed out and probably will be.

However, when i want great innovative game design, I play regular games. What I want from porn games is pleasure.
And in that regard, from choice of models to choice of images, kinks, buildup etc. this game fucking NAILS it. Which is what counts

And it is one of the few games around here that is just an unapologetic mysoginistic fantasy. None of that "jerking off in your pants to a picture of your moms boobies". Just plain old power, sex and violence. More

good start but pick some things from other games and use my advice to make it even better
I hope that you don't shoot at me for the following topics, they are meant as tips or wishes you'll know the difference.
I've just played an hour of so, truth did some tinkering wit save files to speed up some things

* " most future slaves are indoctrinated from a young age and volunteer "
This begs for breeding (with ageing speed up to breeding age).
* you start with 0 money as heir in a wealthy family ???? even in my family far from rich, i had some money to start.
* Hookers who make 30 bucks a day, must be as ugly as hell and not worth dooing that job
* as a crime family heir take some bitches from the dancing and use them for a bit more then just a one night stand, keep em for a week or 2or 5 and see if they are missed, train them, break the drug them, so many options and put them to work, may be add in some risk if you do that.
* be able to select different task for different girls/slaves.
- (kidnap) some to work as whores to get me income.
- use cuties en hotties for reputation
- serve as personal cumsluts / breeding stock
- milking cows (new way of money )

Review of Version 0.1

Pretty good content for Rev 0.1, has enough story and content included to really capture my interest. Will certainly follow this to see where it goes. Looks like it will be a pretty linear story line, with maybe some choice based variations rather than a open world game, but the story seems good enough at this point that I am happy with where it seems to be heading.

How are people saying this is the best game on here? Seriously? 99% of what you click says not implemented yet. The rest is just basically repetitive meaningless point and click stat padding bs just to get to the next scene. Hard pass
