PROS: - See my opinions section for details.

1. Some really nice looking LIs that are sexy and very attractive.
2. Animations are generally very good and well done.
3. Writing is structure and reads pretty well.
4. Dialogue is clever and intelligent, BUT See cons/comments.
5. Generally pacing is not bad, starts slow then becomes better.
6. Story is unique in a weird way, but good in its ludicrousness.
7. Some good humour and funny things going on ever so often, but does sometimes get really annoying, especially with the back and forth of jabs and retorts.
8. Good amount of content (but its been almost 6 years...)

CONS: - See my opinions section for details.

1. Wittiness and clever dialogue does become too much eventually, too many jabs, retorts and clever comebacks get tiresome and speak to all characters immaturity when its pretty much always a matter of one having a clever remark after the other.
2. Per above, having each character, have these clever retorts, at least the main ones is also a bit annoying because its already bad enough the MC is that way ALL THE TIME.
3. Some remarks will go over your head unless you well versed in worldly events, history and other subjects which can be a bit annoying when the player does not "get" the humour, which the game has a lot of, but at the same time, tries to hard to be funny ALL THE TIME.
4. SANDBOX!!! Where to start? IT SUCKS. Sandbox again is the lazy way to string content together, often the player is locked out of content until either another is satisfied first or the MC has to be there at the right time of day...its stupidly annoying!. Read comments.
5. Some characters and writing can be very jarring to read and understand because the characters like Catherine are actually certifiably crazy and they become VERY annoying to me as the game progresses with their OVER the top personalities and reactions to things.
6. Lots of porn logic and stupid dialogue, side plots that can really feel like they taking the piss eventually. A lot of teasing and hypocrisy from many of the LIs especially the mother and sisters does get really annoying because they all just end up teasing the MC more than actually kick back against any moral, social taboo or restrictions IMO.
7. Some decent kinks, but sorry that some are only part of the game much later like pregnancy or even bestiality.
8. The MC is more a beta than anything else, he eventually starts getting balls despite being hung like a horse and it feels like the first 10 chapters you dealing with a moron child. Thankfully he does get a bit more mature later, but its still a painful chore sometimes to put up with him.

OPINIONS, SUGGESTIONS & FINAL REMARKS:

NOTE: The following remarks are my personal opinions and thoughts, which may provide more context and could be useful to the developer. (Read them or don't)

• Sandbox like this is the classic failed reasons why I cant stand the fucking system, but thank God there is no actual grind apart from the stupid time skipping and checking which events must be played first before the other are unlocked. Its still a failed and stupid system when the developer could have created an really awesome AVN or even kinetic novel by running it linear and having just a new day or give a time progression. Fking sandbox...
• The progress is slow and bogged down by the constant replays of events to progress and often its all more of the same and nothing new. Where the game ends in the current form there may be some options for pregnancy but its such a slow slog to get to this point which may not even happen, furthermore there are not nearly as many kinks in the game as there should have been. This being a game thats been going since 2019 tells you all you need to know.
• The Developer being incapacitated from adding new content since from the look of it 2024, and added to this, the abandoned tag does not feel very encouraging for this games future. I also do not want to rush the game to conclusion as I feel for reasons mentioned above and with content lacking like the the MC knocking up everyone, rushing this will ensure its not done well and undermine the entire games fairly good content and reputation.

TLDR:

Overall a great game, for its sexy characters, good animations and sometimes pretty erotic writing, the NTR glimpses are nice to see and roll back to afterwards to pick the cannon route, but sadly it often feels the best content in terms of kinks are during the NTR/Fail moments and not the cannon ones. The MC is actually a weak beta, despite his buff body and large cock, which makes me want to slap the bastard to wake up.

The AVN is long in the tooth and I hope it comes to conclude soon, but ties off well and gives the player a fleshed out conclusion that is both kinky, sexy and satisfying, but for that to happen the developer needs to actually develop it...

This in all honesty for me felt like a humiliation ritual. I'll start with everything, but the story and save that last. First off let's focus on the renders. The lighting for majority of the series was well overblown. The quality of a lot of the renders was mediocre. It sadly, didn't take until the later chapters to get better which was a major letdown for me.

The animations ranging for ok to terrible. Catherine's virginity scene, for instance. It was so bad that I didn't know whether to laugh or jerk off. Then you had these videos that kept crashing, it was all around a bad experience.

Next, let's tackle the gameplay. Just a lazy, lackluster attempt at a sandbox. Skip, skip, and more skipping until your event and that's it. Some of the daily scenes haven't been updated and years and seem to be a waste of time. I'm not into the idea of just going straight for the galleries, but games like this make it very tempting. To go back on my point about the bad lighting, even though the story renders progressed the sandbox renders remained the same even until now. It's still the overblown lighting you're forced to deal with.

Lastly, the story. I just couldn't take it serious. The creator tries too hard to be funny that even when he tries to have serious story moments it just falls short. Too much of anything can ruin everything, and here it was a overdose of bad attempts at humor and satire.

Nearly every woman was lesbian by the end of chapter 12. The creator just seemed to want to cater to everyone and everything that the story got worse and worse quality wise. Ophelia, my God, you don't have sex with her until chapter 11 but meanwhile in all of these "Non canon" money grab stories everyone is screwed every which way, literally. So, if the creator isn't going to take the story serious then why should anyone else?

The relationships became meaningless and the characters are nothing more than sex dolls.

The fantasy portion was good, but the animation quality and script could have been a bit better. The game creates the illusion of making choices, but this is merely an illusion; the choices have no impact. (This had neither a positive nor a negative impact on me.) It's truly disappointing that the story was cut short when it was almost finished. I wish it had been completed.

75/100

I really tried with this one but unfortunately the bad eventually outweighed the good. Matters of personal taste I think.

The visuals are mostly excellent and the writing is sometimes genuinely really funny, but it so often veers into such tasteless territory that I can't enjoy it, and it's never quite as clever as it thinks it is. The game seems to really relish including quite a lot of gross shit, and I'm never quite sure whether it's just to be funny or because some people are into that, but either way it does nothing good for me.

Also, and I know this is on me for my personal tastes, but I find the heavy handedness of the incest theme a bit off-putting. Some of us prefer the layer of abstraction you get through the thin veil of patreon-friendly fauxcest, but that is not an option here, just three generations of a family all drugging and raping each other... like, nah that's not hot to me.

It's a shame because most of the characters are good and the scenes are well constructed, but I can't get off under these conditions man

The entire game is essentially NTR whether or not you turn it off. There's always going to be that pervy grandpa around trying to fuck the girls, and he's always going to be spying on you and your girls, no way around it. Also, the gameplay sucks ass. It's just finding events at specific times. Events you've already seen or don't do anything at all are still there too so it's just more clutter you have to navigate through. The game also forces you to see stuff even if you have 0 interest in it, like exhibitionism, lesbian stuff, naked old men and more. It's just fucking gross and you can't customize anything so I hope you love seeing wrinkly old man balls and dick. As for the writing, it's pretty lame. It has that lolsofunny humor which is something you'd see fresh out of highschool. It's just stupid. The MC is written to be a gigantic push over bitch and only way, way later does he get muscles and start being even a tiny bit assertive. The writing between characters also is just extremely unbelievable and stupid. It's not even close to how family members would act, and this is even before the "corruption". The final nail in the coffin for me was when your sister gets naked Infront of 2 old men and shows off for them and then sucks your dick and shows them that she swallows your cum. NTR is supposed to be off btw. She apologizes after and your beta cuck MC just says ok ur forgiven. No choice or say in the matter at all. Graphically, the game just looks dated. The games been around since 2019 and man does it show. The models are really dated and bland, the girls don't even look good. I guess overall, the game is just dated, ugly, disgusting and tedious to play through. The only good thing I guess I can say is that at least it has a lot of content, even though it's a pain in the ass to play through, and a turn off as well. Avoid unless for some reason you really like seeing old men looking at your girls and you enjoy tedious gameplay to see dated graphics.

I give this game a terrible rating. It's basically two paths- the ntr/cuck or lesbian/simp/sub loser. In one version the disgusting grandfather fucks the women if you lose the battle to influence them. This is so retarded that only desperate losers would play this. The grandfather is a disgusting blotch so it isn't even remotely believable that three women would fuck him because he played his cards right unless they had no brains.

The other version is the 80% lesbo version where even the mom is ok with lesbo shit with her daughters. This makes the whole buildup with the MC pointless since Mom is basically the simps favorite character-the open 24/7 vagina with no preference unless it's female. The Mc just gets put in the sub position and gets labeled the premature ejaculator. Sure there will be some action but only how the mom says while she throws it at women.

I thought the game had some good points but it didn't last long. Once the mom made a crack about kissing her daughter while pressing their tits together I realized this is just a simp game.

The art was ok but the expressions are too unreal. It seems to go with parody type games that the faces make stupid expressions for some reason.

Anyway if you want to be cucked or made a pathetic simp this is the game for you. 1/5 stars.

Since I last played power vacuum. I have dabbled in a blackheart game, Alyssa, burning desires and I can honestly say, this game beats them all. I put this game over Milfy City and they are pretty much clones of each other. For some reason It took me a bit. before I figured out how to post reviews so here I am to say this weg is top notch.

This has a decent set of animations. It has a set of stand~alone expansion packs which are all non~canon. The harem is like a dozen chicks deep and growing. If you actually play through this, know, that what a lot of people call 'the grind' does not apply here. Chicks' appearences at the same time of day in different locations allows for you to do a, "you today &you tomorrow", all the while those same two chicks will become available solo at different times on different days. Dev has a lot of variables on their plate and I can sense that they wanted to weave these new strands into the start but did not want to redo already established dialogue.
Edit: I literally described ' the grind' here and nobody questioned it lol.

About 30% of the animations are pointed at like nothing at all such as straight down a woman's throat while she moans. Or from the side at an askew angle where you see one nipple of one boob and her face is stuffed into her armpit.

Another 30% are a zoom in of testicles or a wide overhead angle of missionary or worse.

The other 40% are what keeps me coming back. Dev has motion picture figured out. It's the camera angles that separates this from 'one of the good ones' to 'potentially the best'. That's all it takes is making the camera a little more straight please.

5/5 regardless. Thanks for doin what you do!

Having started recently, I feel like the game doesn't have the best story and there is sooo many reset / skip days until a certain events to do.
Granted, that is way better around the 7th chapter because there is more sexy times or interesting scenarios.

Overall ? I like the diversity of models and characters (each main one has many scenes, like my favorite Tiff) but half of the chapters are a slog fest.
I really like the "alternative scenarios" that are more recently more developed and not just a lazy few clicks animations.

I will bump it up to 4 if the dev continues on the good recent track (because like I said, at least 2/3 was boring at first).

What a nice surprise this game is. I translated it devoured it. Lots of second degree, great humor (I found myself laughing out loud), beautiful girls, twisted but funny situations, great dialogues and references. The interface is excellent BRAVO

The control of the NTR is possible and is minimal in some cases.

I really liked this game, its graphic quality and a score of 5 is well deserved given the work done in all areas.

I do not hesitate to say that PV is a must have! Looking forward to the conclusion and a sequel!

Played this game and enjoyed the whole journey. The story is great. The humor had me laughing. The fun times were fun. All around worth playing. I caught up on chapter 12. Looking forward to the rest of the game.

This writing is too good for just one guy to have written it. There is clearly a woman's hand at work here; the fact that all of these women are so fleshed-out and fully realized, on this site? No way. My friend, if your day job isn't as a writer, it certainly should be.

Couple notes:

People complaining that there's still "unavoidable NTR" because the antagonist gropes or leers at the women in this game, please don't leave the house without your helmet, because you will not survive the real world.

People complaining that the MC is a spineless beta-male cuck, enjoy living with your dude roommates for the rest of your life, because I don't think you've ever interacted with a real woman. I'm sorry he's not holding them down and rubbing his no-chin neckbeard on their bellies like your cool friend Kyle who totally gets all the chicks and won't shut up about it at recess. And despite what your drunk stepdad tells you when he hits you with his belt for crying at 'The Fox and the Hound', you're not a pussy, you're just bad at feelings.

Just want to start off by saying this is by far the most fun i have ever had while playing an adult game. Easily my favorite 3dcg game of all time. The story is unique as are the characters that come along with it. The writing makes it to where the player is always engaged and i would say it's mostly because of how well the story is written with a perfect mix of comedy and drama. Speaking of comedy this is the most i have ever laughed while playing a sandbox game. Seriously. I can give a rating for each category for the game, but i'm lazy so to make it short i would give each category a 10/10. The animations are top notch and the amount of content within the game is huge. Very minimal grind(if you want to even call it that since there is a built in guide of sorts that walks you through every step). Anyway amazing game overall. Highly recommend!

So much can be said but I'll be short.
1. Sexy content. Obviously this is the most important part of a game like this. The scenes are hot and worth coming back to for replays.

2. Story is good. The story is actually compelling and grows on you as you play. I'm not actually invested in these characters and what happens next which is something I never though I would say about a game like this.

3. Humor is perfect. I actually catch myself laughing out loud at some of these lines. When my brain is not in gooner mode I go back and replay scenes to actually read everything and the amount of one-liners and quips makes me feel like I'm reading an Aaron Sorkin screenplay.

There's a lot of good and bad in this one

this game is a sandbox farm !
I see no reason to make something like that, you have to go to the same event a lot of times to just change one line o dialog

Why is everyone so idiot ?
This might bee one of the worst MC i have ever seen, it's so dumb, and everyone acts very weirdly

Overall quality of renders and video are good

story is ok, it's mostly daily life

It's a slow burner AVN, which I find enjoyable.

The art is great,
I think Cath as MC family art design is slightly less pleasing the eyes than Amber's family and Tefnut,but it fit the story as entertaining as she is.

I think this VN deserve a lot more reader,so I'm giving the 5 out 5.

I love the design of the girls, and the idea of the story, It's very hot. The problem is that it gets so tedious to get the scenes with the free roam, just to get maybe less than 5 minutes of animations. If there was an option to skip free roam then maybe I will give more like 4 or 5 stars

This another game ruined by being sandbox. Having to juggle a bunch of events each day so you don't just spam the time skip really takes you out of the mood. I'll have a sexy but short scene and then the next scene will be just massive dialog with a few sexy teasing pic and I've gone soft by the time I get to the next sexy event.

Characters are also flat and a lot of things they say feel like they're just there to advance the plot. It's kind of humorous at times and they talk about some silly things during sex but it also doesn't help build the mood.

Renders are decent though but the girls that get introduced later are way better. They clearly got better learning as they go but that's a problem because now we're stuck with the old models as the family that you're invested in.

TL;DR: Just download a save file and browse the gallery, then move onto another game

The mother is very hot, and the NTR scenes are also very hot. The author has a very good grasp of NTR, and the animation and rendering are also in line with my preferences. If you don't hate the old bastard too much, this work is worth playing for NTR fans.
