Finished my first play through a couple days ago. Just finished chapter 8.
My rating: 8-9/10.
Characters:
This game is really good at making me think about the relationships I have with the main cast.
Each of the main 3 girls has actually managed to piss me off, which is impressive because most games don't make me care that much and usually have the girls never do anything that could be annoying. Catherine's selfishness is usually harmless and she's so fun and adorable that you don't really care, but when she was too busy moaning on Sterling's face to pull the bar off his chest I understand why he was angry. She didn't have to sit on his face to do that, and even though it was an accident it still rubs you the wrong way. I don't think he should have apologized for getting mad. It makes sense that he doesn't want her to sit on his face because she doesn't take his safety seriously enough (she even kills Hunter and proves Sterling right, that she's too dangerous). She complies with Sterling's plan to learn orgasm control which is fine. Her selfishness is actually being addressed and has consequences. I like that.
Brenna was frustrating when her photo event was at 27 in chapter 5. This is when she pretends nothing is wrong and begs Sterling to finger her. The MC is making a good point that she really constantly treats him like a reject and only acts eager when she wants something from him, while constantly deriding him for wanting anything from her. This is right after she said he was taking advantage of her by fingering her ass, and putting his hand on her head to encourage her to blow him. She acted like him fingering her ass was 100% selfish even though it was the first orgasm she had in weeks. Obviously I wouldn't defend him in the real world, but this is porn and I'll happily use porn logic to defend him.
Ophelia I'm not actually mad at, but it feels kinda like NTR when she lets Cathering feed from her. In fact it seems like NTR is bleeding into the main story with how Lucia during the exhibitionism event was basically acting like she would totally let herself get passed around if Sterling wasn't there. She didn't actually tell those guys "no" when they asked. I'm not against NTR leaking into the main story a bit. But I do hope it's done well.
Now I'm not gonna pretend that Sterling has been a saint to Brenna or Ophelia. I get that their reservations around incest are making things complicated, and that the dynamic is different with a male. I really just wish Sterling was less apologetic. I really liked the moments where he stands up for himself, even if I think his wording could be a bit better. I actually didn't like the pity blowjob he got from Brenna that healed his dick. I wish he'd stop professing his love so much like in the scene where he was bear hugging Brenna in the bathroom, and she cries. I much prefer when his mom was about to have a mental break, and he stands her up and tells her that if only one person gets to get off, then he'll take one for the team and ease her stress.
I'm excited to see what happens with Drew. I hope we see what really happened with Sterling's dildo. I assume Hunter gave it to Brenna (Ophelia smelled Brenna on it, and Brenna was hiding it that one time).
The dialogue's constant wordplay is really cool. At first it was a major draw, but by the end of the game I think there are times when it can be toned down, like in the middle of a sex scene. I think it would be cool if only a couple characters talked that way, like Hunter. That way it's more of a character trait, like Catherine's religious zeal and exuberance or Brenna's snark, instead of being a thing the writer does. Still, I'm not gonna hate the game if it continues. It's not a major problem, just a thing I noticed.
Miscellaneous thoughts:
I hope that Catherine and Ophelia's next step towards incest involves Catherine getting sick and asking for a thermometer up her butt. After the way they already talked about it I want to see it on screen.
It makes sense that Catherine was the first in the family to fuck OP vaginally given that she has the least reservations about incest and sex. It was also really cute to see her dressed up like a queen with a crown and scepter.
Early in the game they hinted at Ophelia wanting to explore her dominant side and Brenna loves it rough so she tricked her mom into spanking her as a punishment. I really hope their next step towards incest is Brenna doing something to piss off her mom and getting spanked extra hard. The teasers hint ant Ophelia dominating Sterling a bit. So let's hope the dev has something planned for these two.
No lie I just wanna see Kimiko and Amber in a 3some with Sterling. The Massage parlor set up was already kind of tantalizing. I'm guessing it will involve happy endings. It would be funny if Sterling banging Kimiko and Amber culminates in a scene where his family finds out and they all tell him how wrong he is and he just has to pretend not to find it funny because they don't realize he's involved with all of them.
Now that Kevin is gone (thank god), Aliza's home could serve as a sick bachelor pad.
I'm hoping that Tiff's ex Peyton (formerly Chad) shows up and we get a 3some with Sterling, Peyton, and Lucia since she is into tgirls.
I think that's all of my thoughts for now. Awesome game. I'll definitely donate some money to the devs when I have the money.
Definitely recommended to all incest lovers that want a solid game to play.
Edit:
I also need an answer for Ophelia's recent change, since she's opening up.
