V0.4.0 ipatch and walkthrough mod installed
What would you do if you suddenly developed the power to read and manipulate human emotions? If you’re like most of us on F95, you’d probably corrupt your family, build a harem, and go out and take over the world. But what if it wasn’t you who developed this power but someone else. Someone close to you. Someone who may have an obsessive interest in you and may be manipulating your emotions as well. Would you fight? Would you just give in and enjoy the sweet ride? Or would you try and use what little power you have to change things for the better and protect those you love and who are close to you? But is that love real? Who has been manipulated and how long has this been going on? Is there a plan or is this being driven by external forces?
There are five love interests in the game with affection stats and one male character with a similar stat who may have a role to play later in the game. There’s also a counter for one character that measures good/neutral/evil development which may be the most important stat in the game, and will probably have a major impact on the eventual outcome. I’d recommend installing the ipatch, because the family (genetic) relationship may also be important for plot purposes and clearly the story was originally written that way. (and I cannot countenance turning a brother into a “godbrother” so your niece becomes a goddaughter)
Much has been made by some negative reviewers of the use of memes in conversations in the story. You may not recognize all of the references, but in order to understand what is going on you do need to pay attention. References to the Xmen and Nietzsche are not in there by accident, and the concept of the Ubermensch (or Ubermadchen) is important to understand what may be going on here. And frankly some of us do talk with memes, our family conversations on messenger often include references to King of the Hill, LOTR, Family Guy and others, so I find it more realistic than some.
Character models are generally pretty hot (Val!!!), and sex scenes are well handled. Breast and butt sizes are anatomically appropriate (realistic). The family characters are not corrupted, they start off in love with you, but it’s an open question as to whether some of them have been emotionally manipulated to create that state. The cheating ex-wife may have been manipulated to do so, as she has been wracked by remorse ever since and is available to be romanced and brought back into the fold. A willowy blonde classmate of your niece and daughter is hiding secrets and is much more than she seems, but we haven’t explored her arc yet. The MC is mature, stable and no horndog; in fact he hasn't been sexually active in the two years since the breakup/divorce (and interestingly neither has his cheating ex wife).
Unexplained and mysterious accidents and deaths/disappearances indicate that there may be sinister outside forces, so it looks like an antagonist may be on the horizon or just over it. This is more than an incest harem wish fulfilment story (not that there’s anything wrong with that…), it has some meat on those bones.
UI is fine. Walkthrough mod is helpful, but may not be showing some hidden stats beyond affection and morality, and it does provide gallery replays.
I entered the game not expecting this much and ended up becoming a patron. 5/5 and it’s still in fairly early development, but I’m looking forward to see where this goes.
