Never say never but it's a slowburn based on corruption, with don't expecting sex I want to specify this.

Hi bob69, can I ask you something about promotion?

5. Promotion

1. One update per 2 weeks will be promoted.

so it's better for me to update the game after two weeks, although maybe I have the update ready a week and a half later, for more visibility. Did I get it right?

1. Abusing the system will result in promotion penalties and thread ownership may be revoked.

What does it mean to abuse the system? Maybe you mean for example to say that content is added but in reality a bugfix?

last question, sorry if I'm talking to you but I don't know who to ask. As a user, when I scroll through the latest updates it means that there are games updated in two weeks, but could it happen that whoever updates such a game perhaps doesn't follow this order and is never promoted to be there? For example update the game every week and a half, will my game never come in the latest updates? I don't know, it seems convoluted to me.

Updated the cover art (ugly hand corrected and removed the subtext) and the intro of the game:


Return to Roots is a Renpy straight-forward visual novel about your return to your stepmother's house after an unpleasant accident, can this sweet and naive woman help you grow in your career as a photographer? Find it out!

voyeurism, eroticism, perversions... descend into a slow and exciting spiral of manipulation and corruption.

Updated for better suit the course the game is taking. I also don't want to rule anything out just yet. Too many misunderstanding.

0.3 Version is OUT!

Dear friends and supporters, here we are finally at 0.3 Version, which not only adds two mega big scenes to the story, but is a complete rework of the entire game in terms of story!

I have to admit, precisely because it was a test I also used the AI to write a few lines, but now that I'm serious about this project we have finally reached a fundamental quality step so that my game turns out to be a real game, and not a test.

Enjoy yourselves and let me know if you liked it!

Patch notes:

• added 20 render, two maxi scenes.
• the division into chapters has been removed.
• fixed some old images for consistency / beauty factor.
• completly reworked the script, now the story will be exclusively in first person, except for some sporadic narration. Test phase was all about try out the Renpy system, now I put myself into narration.
• Added several missing details to better blend with the course the story is taking.
• Corruption is on the way, our milf is now more human, not just only naive (she's always naive, but not only that).

 

[Hooldrafolk]

Dear friends, we have reached version 0.4 of our beloved game!

I've added 40 (FORTY) new images, think that's half the size of the current game.

- You'll see several new scenes, including some new casual photoshoot!

- New character!

- And our first real cosplay of our beloved stepmother
(even if she doesn't look that happy...)

And maybe something in bathroom... or something on bed while sleeping... who knows?

Please leave a comment if you like what you see!

Jk, Have fun!

Art looks stunning and I wish the devs the best but it's a pass for me as step family isn't actually incest. They have no relation to you except through marriage. If they weren't married into the family it wouldn't be considered incest so sorry but I'm passing.

in next update photoshoots gets more exciting

 

[Hooldrafolk]

Dear friends, here we are with an additional "small" update to celebrate Easter, a new photoshoot in very casual office clothes.

It starts automatically, so please don't click like mad and skip the scenes or you risk not seeing it.

I'm working for you! Expect soon a rework for solve this issue

 

[Hooldrafolk]

Dear friends, I have a major change to announce in this version 0.4.5b.

I've done a complete rework of the script, now you will be able to change your name and the roles of the characters.

Now, the default roles between you and our beloved will be the typical Landlady and Tenant, which you can change at the beginning of the game.

Additionally, the dialogues will no longer be marked with quotation marks; now, the names and roles indicated at the beginning of the game will simply appear above the written text in different colors, for greater clarity overall.

Also, I've spent a lot of time revising almost every single image in the game, some redoing from scratch, for greater cohesion and consistency throughout.

So, my friends, have fun!

Interesting
Is the relationship between player and "step" mother fixed or changable in game?
If fixed, hopefully we'll get ye ol' patcheroo

Love the pictures, but friend, if they are not blood-related then there is no incest. Some devs add an I-patch mod to their game that a player has the option to use. You should try that. Good luck.

incest? how do i make the relationship true m/s?

Solved the issue! Try it out please!
the more time passes the more I get used to Renpy, now you can determine your name and roles from the beginning of the game.
By default I set them as landlady and tenant to avoid problems with my Patreon still in progress, but the story has undergone a complete rework: she is literally your Landlady. And nothing else.

EDIT: Corrections

man in this update i think this just became my new favorite game. mom is hot as fuck, and there a huge 'restore her career' vibe with the mom modeling and the mc's manipulations. looking forward to the next updates and for male dom content with her. GREAT JOB!

Thank you so much for listening to your players and working so hard. Happy Easter!!!

 

[Hooldrafolk]

At the moment there's no option to make her MOM, instead of stepmother. Unless you manually go into the script and change it (if you know how).

And now there is! Please try it out, I updated the game in so many ways

To me it looks just like AICG. my eyes are untrained though, also I'm sure one could improve on it..
Either way I'm not against AICG because unlike most schmucks I want more porn.

Keep up the good work

Also, maybe I am weird and all but to me a good story and a few pictures to make it perfect is just enough.. Animations and all are just luxeries. Kinda like how old games still are the best while the new ones are just bugs and even after it it's just a disappointment for the series and studio.

Yes, this game is based on AI CG!

Should have hid that longer, unless it was already known
People have this unfounded and ungrounded hate for AI CG.

I played this game called Monster Girl Dreams, which is mostly just pictures, with a few zoom in's but it does it so good that it's amazing!
Why I am sure AI CG works just as well..
But people just hate me or someone else has to say it but me.. and then it boom out , either way it will boom out.. so keep on!

I understand the hate for AI, but here there are houndreds of games with recycled 3d assets here and there with Daz, I think it's the same. Who actually designs 3D models from scratch? I think no one.

Generative AI is a tool that is improving more and more over time, in my opinion it would be stupid not to exploit its potential. And I hope with my game to prove it.
