I will say this only once; there will be HEAVY spoilers ahead. You have been warned.
We'll start with the basics.
~ Sound? This game actually has BGM, which a lot of authors seem to overlook, so that's a plus. Other than that, there are no extra sound effects.
~ Art? Everything looks great. The backdrops are all very high quality and pleasing to look at.
~ Character Models? Fantastic. All of the girls are gorgeous.
~ Animations? Basic/generic short loops, but good enough.
~ Story? Oh boy, this is where the problems begin... cliches, oh god, the cliches. (I will give one more warning here. I'm not going to be covering every single little thing that happens, just the main events.)
We'll start with Chapter 1.
The story starts with you reminiscing about your first date with your childhood crush where you guessed it, some douchebag comes up to her, grabbing her arm wanting to dance and calling her names when she says no, leaving our "strapping hero" to come to her rescue and punch him in the face... sigh.
After dancing with your crush, mr douchebag comes back with his friends to beat you up (who could have seen that coming?), so you two run away and head toward your car outside, which for some reason is a pristine, blown, old school muscle car that the MC can somehow afford?
(P.S I'm pretty sure I've seen this car at least five times before in other works, but whatever, that's a minor complaint.)
Then, after making it home, you proceed to have sex with her for the first time. As for the scene itself? Basic looped animations, but better than nothing. However, the scene is paused multiple times though because, for some reason, the game needs you to click on a box to confirm that you do indeed want to move onto the next stage of sex instead of just letting it flow naturally.
Even weirder, you're given the option to call this girl that you're finally with after crushing on her since you were a child your 'slut', 'slave' or something else that you decide... real romantic for your first time.
Then, in totally not cliche fashion, just after giving her a creampie, her father walks in, forcing you to flee through the window. Then, to add cliche sprinkles onto the already present cliches; as though someone had roofied our MC, on the drive home, he suddenly starts blacking out for no apparent reason other than he's 'tired', he gets into a crash, put into a coma, has memory loss, yadda-yadda. You know the drill.
After the time skip, you get the usual MC routine, start working out, get a super high-paying job and buy a big ass fancy house, the usual.
After another time skip, your three daughters show up asking to stay with you because (of course) their mother is sick and dying, and they have nowhere to go.
So, life with your daughters. Of course, during the very first night, the MC notes how attractive they are, can't leave that out. He then gets up for a midnight tinkle, leaves the bathroom to find Allison sleepwaking in just her panties which prompts him to get a boner that she sees... (does this story seem familiar to anyone else?)
So after creeping on your daughters for a few hours, a woman named Natalie shows up to inform you that eighteen years ago, you killed her son... oh boy.
Moving on to Chapter 2...
So to start of chapter two, the woman whose son you killed eighteen years ago shows up randomly, knocks on your door, tells you what you did... then leaves? Yes. But then the MC follows her for whatever reason leading them to a secluded part of the park where they talk for a bit, and she pulls a knife on you...
She doesn't stab you, of course, because that would mean game over, but you're given three stupid options to respond, each of which ends with you getting slapped in the face and doing nothing about it because, as you'll come to learn quickly, the MC is a bit of a cuck.
After being slapped. he goes back again (of course), offers her help should she need it, then leaves- oh, sorry, he tries to leave, but before he can, Natalie stops him, asks him out on a date which you cannot refuse, then slaps you. Again.
Oh good God, it took all my willpower to keep going past this point.
So, back at home, Maddison, who hated you at first, is now totally cool with you and blatantly flirts a little bit.
After eating with your daughters and talking a bit, you go to work, mess around there for a bit before deciding to go on a date with Brooke, which I'm assuming only happens if you choose the option saying you would like to pursue something with her in Chapter 1 which I did.
While at dinner with Brooke, the waitress Vanessa brazenly flirts with the MC, which is whatever; I respect her going for what she wants, though I felt like it was a bit overboard.
After Vanessa blows off Brooke one too many times while waitressing, the MC decides he will go and confront her, only, before he can, she pulls him into a bathroom and rips her top open, offering herself to him. You can say yes, no, or straight up tell her to go fuck herself, which I thought was a fun option, lol.
After the date, you overhear Allison and Olivia talking about whether or not you are attractive, which is a bit forward, but whatever. You then catch Maddie masturbating, leaving you with the options to listen closely, leave her be or troll her, all of which don't last long before you head to bed yourself.
So after some time goes by with your daughters, MC goes to pull out of his driveway because he has things to do, only, before he can fully leave, his typically assholish cop neighbour is driving by and almost gets t-boned by MC.
Now, they didn't actually hit each other, so right there it should have ended, but instead, the cop gets out of his car, walks onto the MC's property, yells at him and demands his ID and registration, all while he's off duty I might add. And I don't know where the author of this game is from, but at least where I live, off-duty cops aren't allowed to trespass on someone's property, nor are they allowed to ask for someone's ID/Registration, especially if they haven't actually done something wrong. So the whole scene threw me off.
It's a pretty obvious attempt at creating drama with the future "antagonist" of the game – if you want to call it that – but in the end, it feels pretty cheap and unrealistic. You're supposed to hate this guy 'cause the author tries REALLY hard to make him a douchebag, but it's just cringy.
So after the cuck- sorry, the MC finishes getting pushed around by the poor excuse for a bad cop, he meets with Natalie, who basically establishes that he is her bitch now and that she needs him for something the next day, so if he wants her forgiveness, (which I honestly couldn't care less about and wish we had the option to tell her to fuck off) we'd better cancel any plans we have in the afternoon.
Continuing on, you hang out with Allison, the first stop being, of course, a clothing shop where you, of course, get called into the changing room with her and are, of course, flashed her breasts again, followed by, you guessed it, her bending over in front of you while changing her panties thus flashing her pussy a little bit, as well... and keep in mind that you've technically only known her for a couple of days at this point, yet she's already doing this.
After the day with Allison is finished, you relax at the pool with Olivia and chat a bit, but eventually, she kisses you on the lips. Again, they've known each other for like a couple of days, yet somehow she is romantically in love with him enough to want to kiss him? I don't know why the romance is being rushed so heavily.
After kissing her, you are given a shot of the wannabe bad guy cop smirking in his dark window with a camera in his hands 'cause yes, this story needed a blackmail twist... I can only sigh.
Now to Chapter 3...
So, to start chapter three, you wake up in the middle of the night to find Allison sleeping next to you, which is cute and fine and all; at least she has a bra on this time. Though in the morning, she wakes you up by straddling you in her underwear while you are only in yours, again, I feel like I need to stress this further. Despite you being their father, you and your three daughters have known each other for a few days at most; things are progressing way too fast.
After some morning stuff, you head to work where Mira presents you with an offer of "hanging out" with her, and you are given the option to hang with her secretly, openly, or just outright reject her. It's nice that we can turn her down if we wish; there aren't many things worse than having girls forced on you in these types of games, *cough* Natalie *cough*...
Anyways, I went with the secret option because who doesn't like a little naughty fun when no one else knows about it?
Speaking of Natalie, after talking with Mira, you head to her apartment where she greets you in her underwear, then asks you to massage her... the guy who killed her son 18 years ago, that she only just met face to face for the first time a couple of days ago, the guy that she first held at knifepoint threatening to kill him and then settled on slapping a couple of times, yeah, she's now totally cool with you, inviting you to her home and asking you to massage her in her underwear- well, technically only her panties since she takes off her bra before the massage starts... good god.
Of course, in typical cliche fashion, our MC has a solid grasp on massaging despite it never being mentioned before. Things go well until he gets to her feet which are, I guess, ticklish or something 'cause she kicks him in the face. At the end of it all, after knowing each other for like two days, having one coffee date, one massage, and one hug, she then informs you that she has forgiven you for killing her son... good GOD, what am I reading.
A little bit later, you find yourself in Olivia's room talking about what happened the night prior, where you have the options of being romantic, flirtatious or taking advantage of her.
After that, you head to Allison's room, where you are allowed to get touchy-feely with her bare butt as she's bent over and simultaneously flashing you her pussy. Again. After that, you do a bit of a private photoshoot where she claims you're allowed to watch her change too.
The next morning, after making plans to see Brooke, you receive a text from Vanessa giving you the option to see her, as well, if you so desire.
Just as you are about to leave the driveway, however, things get really weird. Remember mr cliche bad cop? Yeah, well, his wife not only broke into your car, but she's waiting there in the backseat for you so you can talk about something. Not creepy at all.
What does she want to talk about? Well, she informs you that her husband was indeed spying on you when you kissed Olivia by the pool, and he's apparently going to use it against you. Though something I found funny about it was that by the angle of the camera shot, you can't actually see the MC and Olivia kissing, they're just close to each other. I mean, yeah, it's kind of obvious what they're doing to anyone looking at the image, but there's not actual definite proof, so idk why that's supposed to be scary, lol.
Anyways, as if mr cliche bad cop couldn't get any more cliche, guess what? He used to work for the FBI! Yeah! Who could have seen that coming? What's next, we're going to learn that he graduated top class in the Navy Seals, been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, has over 300 confirmed kills, and trained in gorilla warfare and is the top sniper in the entire US armed forces?
So Rachel (cliche cop's wife) came to you because her husband has been acting weird for over a year, and she's basically sick of him. She needs your help with something though she can't tell you what just yet. Of course...
Whatever, moving on. You head to Brooke's house, get some head, then proceed to get punched in the nuts by her apparent daughter that she had through artificial insemination... keep in mind that she decided to do this despite never having sex before and being a virgin, talk about putting the cart before the horse.
After that, you meet with Vanessa (if you chose to do so), where she gives some weird excuse – that's supposed to make you feel sad, I guess – as to why she's not a slut despite throwing herself at you after knowing you for like ten minutes, but whatever.
Following that, you and your three daughters take a trip to the cemetery where you visit their mothers grave and tears fall, sad music plays, and it's supposed to be really heartwarming, but after the gauntlet of cliche's and rushed, immature writing you went through to get there, it kind of nullified the whole thing.
And that’s the end of the available content at this time. Now look, I know that review probably sounded harsh, and it was, but I just couldn't bring myself to sugarcoat it. I like the premise, and for all the ragging on cliches I do, the plot of this story is one I actually enjoy, but the execution of it is just flat-out poor.
I've said the word what feels like a million times now, so I'm not going to keep beating a dead horse, but I mean, come on, whereas most authors try to mix in some originality with the cliches, this story just felt like all cliches and no originality.
More so, the pacing is utterly atrocious. I don't know if the author themselves just can't hold back and wants to get to the action quickly or if they're trying to pander to the virgins playing the game, but things are happening way. too. Fast.
I get it; it's a harem game, and every woman is eventually going to fall for the MC's 'charm,' but why does it all have to happen in the first week of gameplay? Spread it out, give us something to look forward to as we progress with the already established girls, don't just throw them all at us immediately.
Anyways, that’s all I can manage to type right now; I’ve had enough. I feel like I conveyed my feeling well enough.
As for the final score? I teetered between and 1/5 and 2/5 for quite a while but eventually settled on a 2/5. As good as the visuals, character models, sound, animation etc... are, the plot and writing are just so illogical and subpar that I can't justify anything over a 2.
To anyone who reads this, I hope you have a nice day/evening.
