Good game. The art style is very nice, the animations are great and the tits are huge. And that's all one really needs in the end. The gameplay is the usual renpy sanbox clickfest, but it doesn't bother me. There's some fun dialogue here and there, but the plot isn't exactly the reason to play this game.

Love the story, art and progression through the game. With a good in game progression system you never feel stuck. One of the few games that I found early in the making and have kept comming back to for every update. Now the creator is going to start a new game and I am excited for whatever they make. -

Review written as of the 0.19 update
Beautiful art. Great interaction variety. I enjoyed the little minigames for some girls, except the camera focus one... It's the only game of this type that doesn't kill off the protagonist's dad. You get to fuck Hinata, Billie Eilish, and Belle Delphine in the same game, which admittedly isn't for me, but someone is probably overjoyed. Now for the issues...
Tutorial not restrictive enough. From the get-go I was tasked to go meet mom. I kept stumbling through the random doors in the house since I have no idea where she is. I accidentally left the house and couldn't find it again on the map. While looking for home, I accidentally stumbled into a random scene. And when I came back home I got into a different scripted scene. At the end, it took 3 in-game days to finally complete my first task.
Why is the map so realistic? I'd rather have ultra exaggerated icons but I could at least tell the houses apart. I'm 6 hours into the game, and I still visit my classmate instead of my grandma. And way too many areas are available from the beginning. Easing into areas one by one would work better as an introduction and also help with getting lost.
Overloaded afternoon. Like 90% of the game happens during afternoon, meaning you can usually only do 1 action per day and the rest of the day is just skipping to the next afternoon. Most buildings are locked for the weekend, so all of the weekend is another dead period you gotta just skip through. The dev seems to have realized this as well, since later events are more spread out, but the early game still feels uneven.
Even with a quick bed button, skipping time is quite a chore. The game should have definitely allowed skipping time through the map. I currently have to either chat with a girl in hope her dialogue actually skips time or crawl to bed just to go back to my objective 10 seconds later.
The unlocking requirements for advancing with girls can be obtuse. This is more of a nitpick, as the hint system is just wonderful. It would be nice to unlock the list of girls more gradually as to not be overwhelmed, but it is what it is.
The skill system is awkward. 3 skills are just for grinding, which is a slog in the early game, and then hits the breaks midway through the game where you can forget about these skills completely. Makes the grind feel very uneven. The 4th skill is a dialogue skill check, which is only used once, in an admittedly nice scenario, but as it never shows up again, it feels like a waste of the dev's efforts.
The 1st skill also works as a nude filter, which is great, but I honestly feel like we hit the ending too fast. We get access to full nudity early, and get bored of it quite fast. A suggested spreadout from me would be clothed -> semitransparent outer layer -> clear underwear -> semitransparent underwear -> nude. And on unlocking nude, the nude vision and all other visions should be possible to set permanently for everyone instead of selecting each character one by one for a 1 second line.
Cum button is moved. When you go through any sex scene, the game allows you to enjoy different animation speeds before allowing you to watch the nut. The choice order is always Faster -> Slower -> Repeat. These are great. You then have to gradually speed up in order to nut and advance. However when the nut button shows up, the order becomes Slower -> Nut -> Repeat. And as I click through, I always pick the slower option, having to then speed up again, and maybe repeat a few cycles before actually advancing. I can't imagine this being a purely me problem, and I do believe the game would benefit a lot from the options simply staying consistent.
Admittedly the positives heavily outweigh the negatives, but the negatives come crashing into your gameplay experience so much, it can be unnecessarily frustrating. Will keep playing, but also keep complaining. -

This is a good game with great art.
Unfortunately, I have two issues with this game.
1. Too many events take place during the afternoon
2. Almost all the morning events take up the afternoon slot also making it become the evening instantly. -

UNAVOIDABLE FEMDOM ruined it at the end of the update for me. I was enjoying till the end, i was hoping the tables will turn any moment now when interacting with stepmother but nothing of sort happened.
MC as the game is progressing acting like a mega bitch and i ain't lying, not that he was any different at the beginning but now apart from having 15 feet dick he doesn't have that kinda personality to back it up. It's like he's one walking dildo and I'm getting the impression that game was supposed to be all female game so that they can use him however they wish. -

The game is definitely good.
Gameplay is fine. Animations are good and the art has it's own style.
What I really dislike about games like this, that developers are milking Patreon.
The game is in development for years and a lot of Content is still missing. -

Damn, what a milftown...
This is a great game. It has it's own unique style and very good-drawn hot characters. There isn't really a story but I don't get, why you need a well written story in a porn game. Despite all, I really like it. Good luck developing, this is really cool!
btw, this game giving you opportunity to own well known characters or even real persons. this is funny -

The animations and the art are good but the músic is awful only have one song but i can pass that, the only thing i cant pass is the game dont have sound effects in the sex scenes (english is not my first lenguage sorry if use bad grammar) for the story i don't have nothing to say is porn game -

Godlike art ruined by terrible story and gameplay.
That's how I'd like to judge this game in a TL;DR manner.
Story-wise and gameplay-wise this game is a torture, it is boring a repetitive and doesn't really give you the sense of progress through something that matters. I guess the premises are pretty simple but they could've been developed better.
As for the game mechanics even the sex scenes are bad, keep spamming "faster" "faster" "cum" and repeat for every single scene.
The only thing that saves this game is the GORGEOUS art, props to the artist for such a nice choice in the character design and in the animations too, I love the goofy/cartoonish look and it really is the only reason I gave this game 3 stars.
There is for sure hope for the future of this game, if the dev does the right choices for it, maybe a fresh start, who knows. -

I'm going to be honest the graphics are beautiful every girl is beautiful that's all the good things about this game.
The bad thing is that the story is bad beyond all else, it is very boring and above all it does not attract anything, then we have the protagonist, an ugly and idiotic being, as I said, if the story would be good, that would help, but this is not a story without a soul. -

Amazing art and animation but outside of that this game is an absolute mess. Genuinely one of the worst clusterfucks I've ever seen.
- Crazy poor game design. Skills do virtually nothing other than to pointlessly level themselves up. Instead of being equally dispersed, most events take place in the afternoon. Something that's aggravated by morning events often skipping afternoons. Character progression is usually gated behind entirely completing other characters storylines, which makes the game more like two very long questlines instead of several concurrent ones. And these questlines often have you nonsensically repeating the same exact clunky minigame over and over again for no reason, without any change to the task.
- Story often makes no sense. One second MCs getting along amazingly with his mother who claims she never would have even hooked up with women had she been with him. The next she's apparently suffering from massive depression from missing her abusive former lover. This is somehow aggravated by money problems that MC for some reason cannot solve. Despite having by this point been required to help at least 3 lucrative businesses often with explicit promise of payment. The game is riddled with such baffling inconsistencies. Another is needing to pretend to be the priest for sex even after the nun has professed being mc's slave.
- Buggy as hell. Despite the linearity, the game fails miserably to stop you from interacting with things in the wrong order creating all kinds of wonky behavior. People thanking you for things you haven't yet done, getting randomly teleported to the bathroom for simply talking to the friend's mom, being able to wander and advance time before the intro even plays out, etc. The game seems to also refuse to use event tracking flags to fix text as game progresses which often leads to weird dialogue.

This one is beautifully crafted without sacrificing the fun energy of a game. Drawing skill is crazy good, animations way more sexy than some porn stars live cam shows. I know it's like a recycled version of Summertime Saga, but better - far better.
Couple of things tho...
There's no pregnancy-giving-birth mechanism, a disappointment. Adult games with that mechanism are always is demand, since the feature adds more satisfaction for male (players) sexual psychology.
And, humongous monstrous tits... they're just getting out of hand (figuratively speaking). I mean, this isn't early 90's anymore when men drooling all over the place watching Pamela Anderson jiggling her plastic boobs inside their TV bulbs.
More naturally-healthy-jiggly tits, por pavor... -

The game almost completely lacks a plot - after a short introduction, the global plot is completely forgotten and it seems that he will not be remembered until the end of the game. I understand, of course, that for a porn game, the plot is an atavism and plays a completely secondary role, but a good, well-thought-out story can serve as an ornament for the game. In the same way, there are no separate storylines of girls, they do not cause any sympathy, you do not become attached to them in any way - you just perform a sequence of boring, monotonous actions to open their sex scenes. Even those girls who could be potentially interesting are shown very faded and boring. The gameplay is a dull grind. Dialogues are stupid and not interesting. All this could be forgiven if the developers would release updates often enough, but they constantly break their promises and delay the release of new updates. The only big plus of this game is the animations, they are really good. But personally, I would not advise wasting your time on the passage of this craft, and even more so to support the developers financially - just use the code to unlock the gallery, watch the sex scenes and that's it.
