Review for v0.5
Incest harem games seem to be a dime a dozen on this site, but tried and true, I can enjoy them when there's some actual care put into the game. Red Lucy has managed to leave an impression on me, enough to keep me intrigued at the least.
I seen someone else use the word "atmospheric," and I think that describes the unique feel of the game well. This lets the renders do the talking, while dialogue almost feels minimal in the general amount of it. I think this is actually something that's hard to pull off for two reasons. First, your renders have to be top notch not only in how pretty they look, but with things like poses, angles and environments. Second, that minimal amount of dialogue has to be a lot more... quality for lack of a better word. I value good writing and dialogue, so it's an important aspect to me. Red Lucy has, so far, done a really good job with this.
The renders really are great. You can find a fair amount of good looking AVNs these days, but this feels like a step up from those. The angles, the transitions, the character models, etc. All very very good. It's impressive.
The game sort of drops you into the story. You're not the new guy/starting your journey to corrupt your family. There's pre-established relationships with some substance. While not exactly original, it's a bit of a fresher take. Looking at the sister, the game begins by telling you how "we are closer than normal siblings." Essentially meaning incest vibes right out of the gate. Now with the sister I think it's working so far. Normally I like things to have more of a burn to them, so that it in turn makes scenes more satisfying. But I like the set up for their relationship so far.
Now, where it's not working for me is with the aunt. It feels like I loaded someone's save into the middle of the game with no context as an analogy. Out of nowhere she's naked and we're eating her out. Graphically looks great, but that scene didn't do a ton for me. I was more confused than anything.
It's a bit hard to figure out what type of game this is going to be because of this. There's maybe an hour of content and we're already getting blowed by our sister and eating out the aunt. So will this turn into a fuckfest? Or is there going to be a real story here? Hard to tell honestly, but regardless I enjoyed what I played for the most part.
I think my only other gripe is the lack of sound effects. There's music in some of the scenes, but absolutely nothing in the rest. Give us some motorcycle sounds as we're riding into the city. Some camera clicks when we're taking photos. Stuff like that can go a long way.
This was good enough for me to want to follow it's development, but it's very short in content right now. At the rate the updates are currently going, I feel like I'd need a years worth of them to actually get a good feel for the game. But I digress. I think this is easily worth checking out if you're into the genre.
