    Love this game so had to take the time to review. This is a review of the 0.1.2 version of the game.

    Renders: It's obvious they put a lot of effort into them. They look great. Far beyond the bare bones ones you see on a lot of games here. Just beautiful.

    Story: The intro is long and in depth but it really gives you a good feel for the MC's backstory and sets up the rest of the story great. The later clarifications to me weren't needed but it's nice to know the creators listen to feedback, The girls are adorable and I'm really anxious to see how things progress

    Game mechanics: I'm intrigued by the psyche choice system, even though we've only scratched the surface and haven't really seen how it affects things yet. That is going to be very interesting. It'll be fun to see how it meshes with the plot decision trees and character decision trees.

    Length: Excellent for a 1st update. Paying attention to the story, it took me a solid 90 minutes to play through. Not too much different between different paths yet, but it seems like that will change as the game progresses. I did a second playthrough with different psyche choices to see how some of those play out later.

    Solid 5/5 for me.

    The Renders are phenomenal and so is the story telling. I love incest VNs and I can't wait bang the triplets. I love the variety of body types and hair color. I love that the story is believable if not heartbreaking in a way. I will definitely patron this game.

    I don't tend to play games that are still this early on in their development, but when you're stuck in the house all day looking for something to entertain yourself, you just have to bite that bullet when you see a game that looks this good.

    It may be short, but it does not disappoint. There are very few games that can make such a strong impression with its very first version, but this one does just that with its emotional tugging of the heartstrings as well as the impressive quality of the renders and animations.

    The story is perhaps one of the most original that I've seen and it's in this story where the game truly is at its strongest. There's immediate sexual gratifiation right at the start, which should satisfy those who are often frustrated with games that take years to incude even a single sex scene, but from there the story takes a sharp left turn as the main character's life is quite literally upended and the story picks up 10 years later.

    From there, we move swiftly on to the arrival of the 3 main female stars of this game - Olivia (redhead), Allison (blonde), and Maddison (brunette) - who deliver both a heartbreaking and heartwarming body blow. Each of the 3 girls has a very different personality; Allison is warm, bubbly, and affectionate, Maddison is aloof, moody, and fierce, and Olivia is the calm stable lynch pin of the trio.

    The character models are also top-notch with each one resembling a key character from the beginning of the story (an important aspect of it, buy the way), but they are also distinct enough as to not only make remembering which is one is which easier, but also to provide something for every player to enjoy; a fiery redhead, a blonde bombshell, and a raven-haired siren.

    Finally, the gameplay. The game boasts a "fullproof" system where key choices will lead player-characters down a path of Purity, Lust, or Darkness. Such choices will drive the game's core plot, others will affect the player-character's "psyche" which will influence their behaviour, and relationship choices will influence the dynamic of each relationship with other characters. The choices are also colour-coded, and the screen will flash with the colour that corresponds to a particular type of choice. Currently there aren't many of these choices in the game, but what is there already gives you some idea of where each of these paths will lead and the prospect this in-depth system offers of having such freedom of choice to really guide the story how you want is something that I very much look forward to see play out moving forward.

    Overall, this game shows tremendous promise and is perhaps one of the most impressive adult games to debut for a long time. Never have I become a patron of a dev so fast in my life and its meteoric rise in such a short space of time is a testament to its quality, especially given the difficult times we all find ourselves in. This game will undoubtedly become one of the most popular around as it continues to develop, and as agonising as the wait may be, I very much look forward to following its progress.

    OK this game was a lot to take in, something i wonder when i get sad about something in media is, am i sad because it's a great scene that evokes the viewers emotion or is it sad because just the thought of the situation? unfortunately i think it's the latter. The opening scene makes it believe it might be about some drama in high school and romancing this girl in the first day, but here's the thing the plot twist was nice and it got me sad but for all the wrong reasons. i don't care about any of these people the game plays with my emotions to early that the rest of the story is way to tame in comparsion, Like the game drops downhill, i mean a 10 year coma? it takes away some of the emotional attachment when it's such an obvious plot set up. Now let's get to the girls of the story, i'm really not a fan of they're styles like at all, and then of course when it comes to personalties you got the 1 girl who's really sassy (common trope) so the girl just dumps on these 3 daughters in 1 of the biggest guilt trips i've ever seen in my life, this dude took my virginity and i loved him so now he should let my kids stay with him. I prob would've felt more attached if we were shown more of his early days like having 2 chapters then the coma, that would've been really intresting, let's talk about some positives. The opening scene is sad and it is for the reasons i listed. I like that you got those options in the game cause a lot of games don't do that, all in all i think this chapter was a misfire for me cause it has one of the worst things i hate in media (emotional minupilation) all in all if you wanna look past that it's just a kinda generic game with not the best looking girls, graphics are great tho and i'll probably keep playing this

    Plot is great, graphics is good. System of the branching story is unique in a good way. Waiting for more. Girls are nice, emotional and there are 3 paths to work with them. And a Brooke as a side chick...

    Short right now, but it shows a lot of promise.

    The renders are nice. The triplets are adorable and I can't wait for lewd times with them.

    The writing's also pretty good, not being full of bad grammar and spelling mistakes and such.

    I can't wait for more.

    A breath of fresh air on the internet.

    The authors managed to bring us a story that evolves pretty fast, with each character being more gorgeous than the next.

    Also, I was deeply moved by the letter that the MC reads near the end of chapter 1.

    Well done devs, you deserve our support.

    I have high hopes for this game, i won't say is one of the best games i've seen, but i've found very few reasons to not give 5 stars.

    Pros:
    - Awesome renders;
    - Good writing (interactions between characters);
    - You can choose how the mc will react in most situations and the dev says that will define the mc thinking and acting;

    Cons:
    - The story about how we got in the situation we are could be much better written, BUT i think that the point of the game is to think about the future and how will the characters handle the situation they are currently in. So i won't let this decrease my rating.

    So far it is only the first chapter but man does it pack a lot. The different routes will open up to I'm sure very many different flavors. The plot and story beats really do grab you by the balls. Characters are well thought out and unique. There is a ton of potential here but a lot of expectations can be ruined if this is fumbled. Mostly interested in the release schedule as many a game have died of long or delayed updates.highly recommend and can wait for more.

    Gotta say, the models are really good, I like e out of the three sister's models a lot, but the reason I give a good review is because the frigging story touched some strings in my heart, I even cried and am not afraid of saying it lol, give it a shot, I am so looking forward to seeing more and definitely will support the creator whenever I can

    This review is based on my personal taste.
    The game/demo just hadnt got me engaged. The story is fairly simple and could be considered as a generic - one man, early catch/fuck (though it seems to be with a virgin in this instance), and then a few more girls appear in your home, where you have usual options with them (nothing hardcore yet)...besides the home, there is a work, with more girls to appear presumably. Yet, the girls are too artificial, too cute, and all appear the same - with eyes as big as if only they have greenish skin it could be a hot interspecies/allien game :D. Joking aside, they do look a bit underage in their faces (though the body is well developed), even those supposedly more mature. I know this is fairly common look in such games, regardless males/females, yet in this one it bothers me more, perhaps because all of the girls are look alike...There is only few interactions with them, all of it straightforward with questions as in tv quizzes.
    It is an early development, yet based on this demo, this game is not my piece of cake.
    Two stars at this instance...apart from quality renders there is not much to my liking there

    Finally, something fresh!

    ###Spoilers ahead### (Taboo Edition)

    Story starts pretty highschool loser stuff like. Prom night, date isn't showing up, bestie gets touchy, sexy time, Braun Strowman is the girls father and wants to kill you as he caught you insaminating his daughter.
    Car crash, lost memory, coma, get rich afterwards.

    You know that you impregnated the girl but the outcome was really unexpected. You'll figure it out.

    Otherwise the story isn't that deep right now but ended in a cliffhanger.

    Renders are refreshing as well. Models are looking a little cartoonish but I like it.

    Gameplay is just a standard VN with some elements added to it.

    First episode startet really well, looking forward for quality updates.

    (Based on v0.1.1)

    This is one of the most exciting first releases I've ever seen.
    • The plot is ripe for all kinds of lewd fun.
    • The girls look great, and have actual personalities.
    • The renders look good.
    • It's NOT a sandbox game (IMO, this is a very good thing).
    If you're into the father-daughter taboo this game could (if developed properly) be a competitor with some of the best ones out there. I'm talking about DMD-tier.

    One thing that concerns me is that the developers look like they could be setting up a lot of branches in the storyline. I really hope they know what they're doing, because branches have the tendency to grow exponentially and bog down development.

    If the developers are timely and responsible with their updates, this game could turn out to be one of the best on the website.

    What I like about this game is that when the developers decided that they wanted drama in their story, they did not look around and ask which of the female characters do we want to be the victim of rape, or which female character will have been a victim of physical and/or sexual abuse? Instead they dealt with the illness and death of a loved one, something with which almost all of us can identify. As soon as I was done playing, I knew that I had to go pledge my support.

    Man wtf???? This game is amazing! 5 stars EASY.

    I REALLY liked the story, something that escapes "the same thing as always", I was really sad and frustrated sometimes, but in a good way! (???)

    Pros:
    Great renders and animations
    Great writing
    Great audio choices
    Unlike some here, I like the idea of "screen flashes" .It's something different, makes the game unique.

    Cons:
    No Chapter 2 yet, i want to know what will happen after that final scene!

    I recommend 100%. No regret about this game, keep up the great work! I'm rooting for your success.

    The only game i'm looking forward to this season! The quality itself, the originality of the models is all perfect. The depth of the interactions too. Looking forward to everything that is to come of this game. The choices are also depthful and I hope they receive a lot of attention.

    Pros: The renders are great, it looks like there will be more depth than just the three daughters (the cliff hanger at the end of chapter 1 was great).

    Con: I'd like some indication of the important choices rather than a "screen flash" which I never saw- maybe highlight the choices in the different color instead of always using purple

    This game is amazing, the wrighting is top notch. There are almost no grammatical errors, and the characterization of the girls is believable. The girls are beautiful, the rendering quality is high and the lighting is superb.

    The story is emotionally captivating. I found myself almost in tears on several occasions and found it hard to make some of the more perverted choices, as I truly identified with the girls and what they were going through. I actually felt an emotional attachment and the final image of the chapter tore at my heartstrings.

    I give a big thumbs up to the developers and the obvious hard work they put into this game.

    The music and sound was amazingly done and truly added to the feel of the gamw. It added an extra lair to the emotional impact of certain scenes. This is one game you SHOULD turn your speakers up for.

    First off, fantastic writing and artwork. The girls all have their own personalities and quirks and you can tell that from just the first update. The choices are only a few right now, but each one does a good job of indicating the sort of character path you're heading toward. The set up has a few familiar tropes, but it's not done in an overly cliché way. The only weird thing for me was at the very beginning with the MC having a somewhat ridiculously over the top car. It has no impact on the story though and is out of the way vey quickly. The artwork by Alorth is very detailed and well done, including accurate shadows and reflections, and great character detail. With the wonderful writing Sir Dammed has put in this looks to be a great investment for both you time and, if able, your financial support. I look forward to a strong future for this game and the simply adorable Triplets!
