VN Ren'Py Secrets and Promises [v0.03] [badbod]

[HornyyPussy]

Calling the MC 'stud' goes in there somewhere too along with 'spin the bottle', 'truth or dare' and 'beer pong'. Surely there has to be some new games they can play.

It's down to the assets being available in DAZ.

 

[Lantua]

After playing "Boxed In," it's essential to keep a close eye on this new game.
I don't know what the plot will be like, as it's only just begun to unfold, but it promises some great surprises.
The graphics are very well done.
Best wishes.

I can understand putting the Sarah/Bill route split in the prologue (and ensuing "lift" scenes) to give the player the initial impression that this is a game with branching paths where choices matter, but it has the odd consequence that whereas the rest of the game is heavily geared towards the MC fucking everything he meets and everyone seemingly being fine with that (and the rest of the plot being mostly linear, choices largely limited to pursuing relationships or not), Sarah's and Mary's paths remain mutually exclusive.

Other than that: Hey, this is pretty decent so far! The MC has some Gary Stu-vibes, but it's always nice to play an adult and not another horned up teenager.

I also think the incest aspect of the game is handled strangely as well. Incest works for me because of the build up from "we can't" to "fuck it we want this" and it just isn't here. With Cara anyway, no telling with Millie because she has been pretty ignored so far. With Cara she pretty much knew the MC was her dad and still wants to show him her tits and be fondled, if you perv out that is, the only way to get it. Her friends also know and instigate kissing and such and think nothing of them doing anything together. It feels like it's just there to tick a kink checkbox.

It's a different type of incest game, and I think it works well for it. There'll still be some build up to it, I'm sure, but with the way the game plays, there isn't really the scope for the usual progression, which takes up half the game. If this was just about the daughters, then it might be different. The way I see it, you have to take this game as it is, rather than using the usual conventions and comparing it to how we would therefore normally expect things to go.

meanwhile here I am playing a incest game with none of the incest options appeal to me lol. Well mostly no the sister is a yes ( for now) and the niece is a maybe . Tho they aren't my favorite options

They are a bit younger-looking than I'd normally want in an LI, but I do like Cara and Millie (and not incest, but Nicole is softening and is cute, so that's going to be fun too). Cara is maybe a bit too fast and forward, but she's obviously had desires building up for some time, as has Millie, although it feels slightly more strange with her because MC is "publicly" her father, as opposed to Cara where it's only "privately". I do like the fingers thing with Millie though, how the second time she comes running down the stairs, stops to jam her fingers down her pants, then continues and gets the hug. The blushing as MC then sucks her fingers is cute, despite the unabashed depravity behind it.

Yeah, that too.

I still don't think that changes much. It would just be like "the kinks are there so that's all that matters". Like with Millie even, she is rubbing one out to the MC's pic already... Two confirmed daughters and another girl that like daddy play. It's used as a tool at best. The choices are all basically just "yes" "no". Stay on this path? See this lewd scene? It's all very basic.

 

[HornyyPussy]

Don't really see the problem with that, it's written in the same way as the Dev's first game and I for one like it. His games aren't written in the same way as similar games and that's a nice change in my book.

To each their own, but I honestly just find it boring. The members of the family are no different from any other female the MC and go after. Like "They are related.. moving on".

Personally I think that's fine, because you know that's what you're getting. If the game was trying to be something different, then I'd expect more, but it's not. I think it's just a case of taking it for what it is and not trying to look for realism in that side of it.

I think for me it is a bit of they are a bit young for me in not just how they look but act , tho that is understandable. Then also the fact they are daughters. I kind of have a hard time with incest when it comes to daughters always hit and miss for me , sometimes it doesn't bother me other times I just can't. Like im not even sure if I am gonna go through with the Millie content on my content save I will until I just don't like it anymore.

Cara went from a yes to a no on my main save cause of the reveal she is our daughter. But it isn't as much of a hard no as it is with Millie for me. Tho that's more of an issue with F/D stuff for me , I don't really like that type of incest when they act young and act like a daughter at the same time. ( which is the point of that relationship) I really only get along with older daughters if im playing that type of game. Younger ones im more picky about not sure why used to not bother me when I was new to AVN's but now im not a fan. Which is funny to think about cause I have no issue with Mary.

But just shows this is a great game if I can enjoy with skipping most of the incest content.

I totally get that. I think it's a bit weird, because I have a young daughter, so I might feel I should be the same as you. I have total separation though, and no problems there - it wouldn't make a difference to me if Cara and Millie were nieces or something instead, for instance, it's just the taboo element in general that provides the hotness (but even without that the scenes themselves would be hot anyway).

To each their own, but I honestly just find it boring. The members of the family are no different from any other female the MC and go after. Like "They are related.. moving on".

I once read that when close relatives who don't know each other (they were separated in childhood) get together, they are physically attracted to each other quite strongly. They know each other in the game, but practically live their entire lives separately. Plus, with daughters at their age, their hormones are probably pretty messed up.

 

[lo0u]

Gotta say, this dev makes probably the hottest incest games I've ever played, but the one issue his games have to me is that there are way too many characters.

They're all hot, but sometimes it feels like they get in the way of the progression of the girls you're into in that moment.

I felt the same way with Boxed In, when a bunch of daughters and even a twin appeared out of nowhere and this game kinda suffers from that too.

At least if you could cut their routes by a choice, it'd allow you to choose the girls you want to focus on at a time. But there was only one instance of that happening with Alex, but it still didn't prevent another scene with her later on, if you went along with Cara.

I think a way of fixing this is adding hard choices. If you choose to not pursue a character, you shouldn't have a scene with them alongside with a girl you're actually pursuing. Not even a bit. In the case of Alex, the game said the path was closed, but you still get a scene with her later on.

But still, I liked the game a lot. The dev certainly knows how to make hot games.

That would create a lot more work for the dev though with much longer development time between updates.

I can definitely see where you're coming from, and of course the potential is for a lot more LIs to come into it as well, as we open up other locations. For me though, at the moment at least, I don't think it's a problem (or near to being a problem). That might be because of the way I'm viewing the game though. If I was to view it the way I look at many of the other games I play, where I have separate saves for individual girls, then I might be a bit less favourable here.

Regarding choices though, I fully agree. I haven't rejected anyone yet, even though there are a couple I'm not so keen on (Alex being one for me, as it happens). In this sort of game, I do tend to go along with everyone unless there comes a time where an actual choice needs to be made (an event will involve either Girl X or Girl Y, for instance), which is why I do currently have two saves, one for the initial "Sarah" path and the other for the "Mary" path.

I recall some remedial work was put in for the pool event in the mancave with Alex though. I can't remember the specifics of it, but I think it might have given you that choice to avoid the scene if you didn't want it, though I don't know if it was linked at all to the earlier choice, or if it was a "second chance" option.

 

[lo0u]

Yeah, I know, that's why I think that sometimes having less characters is a better option. Especially when the main girls are already great.

I just got the feeling that the main girls were hot asf and the other ones that got introduced, seemed to get in the way and weren't as interesting. Even characters that had great scenes, like Dawn. Feels like they're addons to the main girls; in that case Sarah.

There is a lot more depth to Sarah, Alison, Cara, Violet, Millie, Nettie and even Sue, than everybody else. And looking at the gallery, it seems like there will be a lot more locations, which will add more characters.

But yeah, it's still early in the development cycle to be a major issue.

Out of nowhere? Only if you weren't paying attention.
99% of players knew she existed long before the reveal.

In the case of Alex, the game said the path was closed, but you still get a scene with her later on.

Which scene are you talking about? The man-cave scene where she pretends to kiss you to complete the dare?
If you close the path of a character, they're not going to suddenly disappear from the game entirely. There will be fewer interactions between the MC and that character, but they're still in the story.
