    Ch. 9
    I am certainly aware of this work's flaws, but when I compare it to some overhyped works, its value becomes clear. The novel, undoubtedly, has weaknesses in its plot and character development, and the story relies heavily on clichés. However, apart from a few exceptional works out there, most others share this same problem. The issue with this novel is that it has raised expectations of itself, which is why it has received many low scores.

    On the other hand, its adult content is remarkably well-executed and of high quality. The characters are beautiful, and although most of them are repetitive in other works, they still feel unique. Costume design is excellent. The use and framing of the camera are very well-handled, and the sexual content could not be better. For this reason, I give it a perfect score

    After the first couple of scenes I didn't expect a grand story. It was clear from the start that this is one big incest fantasy surrounding the MCs mother, who has - surprise surprise - huge knockers.
    The plot is just filler to get from one porn scene to the next. There is no story that deserves the name, no believable internal or external conflict. The MCs superpowers enable him to solve most issues. Most decisions that progress the plot are railroaded and so incredibly stupid that it is sometimes immersion-breaking.

    Let's make one thing clear. The MC is a weak and deplorable character. He doesn't really care about other humans, not even his family, all he cares about is to have sex. He shows no signs of empathy, only possessive behavior that he misunderstands as empathy and love. The alternative to be a goody-two-shoes and have the most boring gaming experience.

    What is left, then? The renders are decent enough, the environments are uninspired, the music is pretty standard, there are basic animations that portray little emotion and lack fluidity. I'm quite disappointed.

    Well, lets start with the good things, the graphics are great and the women are top shelf (though only seen a few so far).
    Cons :- biggest bad thing for me is the incessant music track in the background even if you turn that setting right down. The game'play' is also very simple and the follow through as a story just doesn't work. I mean you are supposed to be working each day at the place with Emma but in five or six days you've been back once. The whole thing with the memories linked to your DNA because of your previous landlord is also just stupid (been told that some change to the game you can download can sort that out, but it's baffling...if it's incest then the game is tagged for that and many other games have that component anyway...like 'Dating my Daughter').
    All in all, I'd give it a go but don't expect anything other than a bunch of clicking with no thought interspaced with hot naked women...

    Ep.1-9 "Love path" The game has beautiful graphics, but the storyline is confusing

    - Very sexy woman

    The animation, blow jobs, and hand gestures are well done, and the female characters' facial expressions and gestures are natural 10/10!!

    The sex animation is not as good as it should be. As you know, having sex has a step like 1 > 2 > 3 > 4....n but many times the game starts from 1 and jumps to 3 I am not okay with this (Some scenes are well done, some scenes are skipped)

    For example, the characters are kissing and then they jump to fuck! It looks funny, There is no scene of preparation for insertion

    But when you play to EP 7, everything seems smoother.. more natural Less steps to skip makes it feel better and more emotional

    This game for me should get 5 stars because of personal preference, but I have to rate it honestly And I hope the game will develop even further
  5. 2.00 star(s)

    Jaga Telesin

    Starts off okay, decent renders, models, personalities, and the story isn't bad enough to turn you off from it.

    About 3/4 of the way through things pick up a bit with the story, and sex scenes get pretty hot and heavy, with some good animation. The love interests (particularly mother and sister) get really involved with the MC, which is a pleasant change.

    Unfortunately, the MC is the DUMBEST fucker on the planet. Whether he was written that way, or the writer is just immature is not totally clear. He does some of the stupidest things I could ever imagine, including allowing a drug-using LI to get them both threatened with death, rip off a drug dealer, and tell her the secret about what his work is doing.

    Not long after that, his "best friend" for the first 9/10ths of the game (who the MC did a serious favor for early on) goes apeshit, gets them both caught by some really bad people, then is forced to take the MC's pills. At which point of course, he gets free, controls the bad guy interrogating them to "beat the MC to death", and leaves.

    Some of the worst fucking plot progression I've seen in a long time. No one would be as stupid to leave a box full of experimental, dangerous pills in the back of his car for days on end. No one's "best friend" would do a 180 on them and order the death of their buddy. It's just so unrealistic it's bad.

    The game was trending around a 3.8 for me, but this puts it down to a 2.3. The game might be worth playing 3/4 of the way through, but the writers totally lost touch with reality near the end of Episode 9, and it's just not worth the play anymore.

    Review as of Episode 9 Chapter 2

    How Long To Beat: 10+ hours
    A chapter takes anywhere from 30-90 minutes, depending on choices, reading speed, and how long you enjoy the erotic scenes.

    This is one of the most sleek and smooth Ren'Py games on the site. It is incredibly easy to start up and play and get to the next lewd scene with reasonable pacing.

    The story, for those who care, is a standard mind-control plot, although it doesn't lean heavily on that plot device. The main character lives with his mother and sister. His father has passed away under mysterious circumstances. The family is now financially unstable. An old acquaintance of your father, the beautiful Emma, offers you a lucrative job continuing your father's last project through experimental procedures. The MC has to take pills and lay down in a machine, which accesses his father's memory through some Assassin's Creed-esque technology. The pills have a side-effect where people who reach an emotionally volatile moment (ie, an argument, an attack, getting incredibly annoyed) become susceptable to mind-altering influence through the pheromones of the user. There's several plot-threads that interweave: the story of reclaiming memories through the experiment (Plot 1); the MC's exploits with family and friends under the influence of the mind-altering pills, which is the majority of the game (Plot 2); and a conspiracy involving a crime syndicate (Plot 3).

    I don't actually care about plots 1 and 3.

    Plot 1 is covered infrequently, despite having the most emphasis in the early game. It's a nice framework for the larger story. I think Emma is very sexy. Unfortunately, the intrigue loses momentum once you're past the earlier chapters. The issue isn't in the writing or dialogue, but more in the plotting and pacing of ideas. I still don't really know anything about the MC's father's research and there are no greater implications or stakes for it to be revealed. Thankfully these scenes are short and avoid redundancies. I'm not convinced that the author(s) have this entire plot sketched out, and that made me less engaged with this part of the story.

    However, Plot 2 is incredibly satisfying so far. The MC's mom and sister are both attractive and defined. The taboo themes one expects from an incest game are present and attended. There's reluctance, lust, and a push-and-pull movement with the character's dynamics. It's not a simple example of "you're mind controlled once and now we're forever intwined". There's a sense of escalation against the character's reservations, which creates a best of both worlds scenario: there are stakes between the characters where they maintain a sense of gravity about sexual dynamics between them, but it also avoids being a slow-burn without the lewd scenes we're working towards.

    There are branching paths, which can lead to missing out on a lot of content.
    At the begining of the game, you have to choose between showing an interest to Megan, the MC's mom, or Sarah , the MC's sister. While you will get scenes with both, this will determine how many scenes and how the plot progresses in certain ways. There is a handy walkthrough with flow-charts that I used to have a better idea of my decisions. However, some choices still remained unclear, which will come up shortly.

    For this playthrough, I chose to concentrate on Megan (the mom), because she intrigued me initially. (I expected Sarah to be more of a tsundere, which actually wasn't the case.) So for most of my choices between the two, I went with Megan. I also chose to corrupt Megan, I colluded with her about seducing Sarah into a threesome, I went solo-route on Faith, I started a relationship with Emma, and I chose to help Angelina, MC's cousin, but not tell her about the pills, and I fucked the MC's aunt, Ann.

    The corruption route in this is great. Megan becomes incredibly horny and sex-positive. There's no guilt, she's fully consenting, and she's adventurous. You get to have a lot of lewd scenes with her, and there's no underlying negativity to the choice. It's more like you remove her inhibitions instead of breaking her mind. The scenes with her slowly convincing Sarah to make the situation into a three-way relationship is sexy and fun.

    My main regret with my play-through is how I approached Faith, who is the mother of Jake, the MC's "friend" (friend is in quotes because Jake sucks as a person). Faith's route goes "Sharing" or "Don't Share". Now, when the game presents the idea of "Sharing" with Jake, I assumed that meant more than sharing his mother. I was totally into the idea of DP'ing Faith, but I didn't want Jake hooking up with Megan and/or Sarah. So I went Solo on that, which is the one decision I regret. Faith is pretty one-dimensional, making her the least dynamic and interesting character in the game. She is attractive and the lewd scenes with her look very nice, but there's not a lot of substance when you're just hooking up with her alone.

    (And hey, any Dev's that are reading this: if you design a game with multiple routes with exclusive content, once someone completes your game on a playthrough, just automatically unlock all scenes in the gallery. I understand you designed your games to make choices matter and for replayability, but if your writing is actually good, the player will want to replay the game with different choices for the writing. I played your game once, I could possibly have paid for it; if anything, letting me see the lewd scenes I missed would encourage me to play through the game to see their context better. "Oh you can just replay it and skip everything until you get to the choices." Do you think that actually sounds like a fun, productive use of your player-base's time? It's not.)

    The character designs are sexy and varied. Some body builds are athletic and tight, some are curvier; some tits are perky, some tits are busty; none of them are ridiculously exaggerated (although Megan comes close with her giant tits). There are nice physics in the animations that allow the tits to move naturally. The costuming is great, especially the lingerie. The scenes are well-framed and everything looks polished. They did great work.

    The lewd scenes are top-tier in presentation and animation. Every lewd scene is fully animated with several adjustable speeds. Each scene is varied and lengthy but never rote, redundant or boring. For example, there is a scene, soon after corrupting Megan, where she and the MC's stay up all night fucking in the backyard. There are dozens of position changes. The scene just kept going and going. This isn't a complaint. It was awesome and sexy as hell. I'm so used to Ren'Py games that make you re-watch a sex scene multiple times to unlock a new one or to progress gameplay. While the player is going to fuck these characters multiple times, there's always a costume change, a new position, or a change in environment or context to keep things fresh.

    The interface, the menus, and the gallery are all well-designed.

    Overall, this game deserves it's reputation as one of the best on the sites, even if it currently sits unfinished. I'm wary of the final destination. We're already at a 10+ hour game and none of the plots seem anywhere close to wrapping up. I don't see the pace being maintained for another 9 chapters, either. There's still room for new relationship dynamics, which makes me optimistic for the finished product, but we will have to wait and see.

    HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

    No idea what the title is referring to at any point. Never once did the characters shut up or dance, let alone do them in conjuction. There's mutliple scenes where the characters play a card game that says Shut Up And Dance, but it's like a lewd truth-or-dare game that's impertinent to the plot, and never once did it reequire them to shut up or dance. I don't know if this card game is canonically called Shut Up and Dance, or if it's just labeled as an out-of-context meta-reference to the game we're currently playing, like how mid-generation Sonic games have SEGA logos everywhere.

    Review for Ep.6 RE SE
    Okay, let's talk about "Shut Up and Dance." It's got some highs and lows, so buckle up.

    The game kicks off with a storyline that feels like a well-trodden path. It starts off promising but quickly goes into clichéd territory, especially with the whole protagonist-landlady-roommate dynamic. It's the kind of plot you've seen before, and unfortunately, it doesn't bring anything new to the table.

    If we look at the dialogue, well it's... awkward, to say the least. It feels like someone trying way too hard to be romantic but failing miserably. The attempts at flirtation come off as forced and childish, which doesn't do the characters or the story any favors.

    Now, onto the romance. Or should I say, lack thereof? The love interests feel more like cardboard cutouts than actual characters. It's like their only purpose is to be swooned by the protagonist's... well, you know. And don't even get me started on how quickly things escalate. It's all so fake and unbelievable. There is no conflict or passion, it all feels so bland.

    On the bright side, there are some animations thrown in, which adds a nice touch to the gameplay. But when it comes to graphics, it's nothing to write home about. It's okay, but it won't blow you away. As for the background music, it does its job of setting the mood, but it's not exactly memorable. It's there, it's fine, but it doesn't add much to the overall experience.

    Overall, "Shut Up and Dance" has its moments, but they're few and far between. The clichéd story, cringy dialogue, and shallow romance make for a less than satisfying gameplay experience. It's not terrible, but it's far from great. Unless you're really desperate for some cheesy romance, you might want to give this one a pass.

    Revolving Mania

    No clue why this is so highly rated, but it's honestly terrible. Sure, the LIs are hot and they look unique, but that's about the only good thing it has.

    First off, there's a story there, but it moves at a snail's pace. It takes two renders and some dialogue in between large sessions of relationship building that are about as bad as the story itself.

    The characters are all badly characterized and boring. The worst of them is the MC. If you like playing as a manchild, then you might like it, otherwise you'll have to put up with an idiotic MC who is an adult but acts like a child.

    The MC's only thoughts are about how to fuck his mother and sister and they know it and treat him like a creep for it. Obviously, he is a creep and he deserves it, but it is not fun to play as him. Aside from being a creep, he creepily acts like an actual child sometimes. With things like "Ugh, but mooooom," so you can imagine it's filled with cringeworthy moments.

    He has some mind control powers, which he almost never uses. This made me suspect the only purpose of including this power in the game was to set up the inciting incident.

    There's an entire beach scene with the mother and sister throwing shade at the MC and he does nothing but prove them right and go straight to being a creep.

    Yet, as you probably have imagined, the LIs are hypocrites in how they acknowledge all of the MC's flaws and none of his strengths (because he doesn't have any) and then still jump at his dick for no reason.

    Lastly, there are barely any choices. I think you can go for entire chapters without making a single choice and then you get to choose something like agreeing to buy weed for your cousin or ALSO agreeing to buy weed with a catch. The funny thing is that MC never specifies the catch and he just gets a kiss on the cheek. Suffices to say, the choices don't matter. There's only one that has a significant impact and it's about whether or not you want to share one of the LIs with this Jake.

    In short, almost non-existent and boring story, creepy ass manchild MC, unlikeable LIs and unimportant choices.

    Made it as far as chapter seven, part two before a narrative inconsistency irked me so much that I couldn't bring myself to continue. I won't go too in depth as to spare passers-by from potentially being spoiled - but a scene comes up that completely ignores some previously made choices and continuity.

    I'm sure it's a bug, an error or a mistake of some kind and were I more enamoured with the game I might have swallowed my sour grapes and continued regardless. But disregarding this glaring oversight, the game was otherwise the very model of mediocrity imo anyway.

    The writing was good, but not great.
    Occasionally cringe, mostly bland - but serviceable .
    The renders and models are good, the animations less so.
    Music was muteable - best I can say about it.
    Ain't much in the way of sfx but they overdo the Metal Gear 'alert' noise, it plays damn near if not literally every time a character is shocked or surprised.

    Anyway - it's mostly just fine and perhaps some time in the future if they patch up the continuity error I'll give it another gander but right now I can't give it a firm recommendation. Check it out if you're short of options - like I said it's fine - but if you have other choices, this wouldn't be my first.

    Ep 6 RE SE

    tl;dr The game is okay-ish with a tendency of mindles fap material.

    Story is there but really just a preminse for a fap around every corner.
    Right of the bat MC is drooling over his mother and sister. Shortly into the game he gets his magical pills which i guess also work passively because if not, then every girl is just a mindles cock sleeve.

    Everyone jumps at MC even if he is not using his "power" actively... Besides this, MC is kinda dumb as a brick. He wants to fuck his family but dont want to use his "power" on them because "they are my family - how can i even think about it"

    There are hardly any choices at all. At some point i thought this is a kinetic novel with extra steps.

    At some point i just started to skip the text because it was all the same cock drooling over MC the whole time.

    + music
    + great animations and beautiful renders
    + Megan:love:
    + a lot of lewd scenes, most of them are very long
    + dirty talk is top notch
    + mc is ok, he is a liitle bit of a wimp sometimes but definitely not a total loser

    - fucking annoying Jake
    - love route with Megan is pointless

    avn it's more focused on lewd content instead of deep story with wall of text, it's good because this genre also need games like this. 5 stars from me, a real gem

    Grand Duke

    Good Renders and good models are about the only good thing this game has going for it. The story is laughably shallow and doesn't even attempt to make itself interesting. The villain is laughably pathetic and incompetent, he feels like a gag (Oh there's a dirty spot on my face let me just uncuff this person who I am holding hostage and whose father I killed and also has special powers he can use to instantly make me listen to any of his orders I'm sure he'll help me out then agree to go back to being hand-cuffed). The characters are 0 dimensional, they don't even follow traditional archetypes which would make them 1 dimensional no, they speak robotic with zero characterization. All of their dialogue is boring and unengaging, it follows a Character 1 says "Point A then Point B," then Character 2 "Responds to point A and B," format where characters respond to each other in the most impersonal way possible. Seriously, these characters are the farthest things from human I've ever seen, they are androids. There's absolutely no feeling of romance in this game, there's no connection between any character, the relationship between the MC and any character is shallow, no the relationship between every character in this game is shallow. The game completely focuses on progressing romance with terribly implemented h-scenes which are shoved in the players face with no development of the characters. The entirty of the mom's relationship which pretty much was the excuse to also start the sister's relationship all started with the stupidest and lazy plot line ever (tHe dOcToR rEcOmMaNdEd I jErK yOu oR eLsE yOu mIgHt fAiNt aGaIn), then the mom within a few day starts deep-throating him. Listen maybe I can accept jerking him off, I mean hundreds of years ago in Europe Nannies would give hand-jobs to young royals to help them fall asleep. But it suddenly turns into blowjobs, assrubs with literally 0 pushing from the self-insert blank slate MC. Then suddenly the game blue balls her for hours of gameplay because they had sEx and a mother shouldn't be doing that and the reality of the situation weighed in on her!!!! Of course the MC, who practically has no free-will (He seems to have no past, no likes and dislikes besides sexual things and pretty much is given quests on what to do throughout the day, he doesn't think for himself). The game pretty much consists of said questgiver like objectives (Party being held today, let's go to the beach at this time, date at this hour, we will fuck at this time exactly, we will go here today tomorrow go there). The MC never engages any of the events in his life they're just given to him usually by text. The game also has no comedy and no stakes. The dialogue of the sex-scenes is generic trash, it goes fuck me, you feel good, fuck me harder, I feel good, I'm cumming. It doesn't even bother explaining what's going on in the scene, characters teleport into new positions and continue on with the same dialogue. I had high hope for this game but was sadly dissapointed, I'm even more appalled that the Dev apparently remade all of these parts and this is what he came up with... Well better luck on your next project, at the very least the renders and characters looked good and the animations were decent.

    I dont uynderstand the ratings if this game. I gotta admit that the colors and the lighting are quite good, like below the top tier and im not going to question the work behind it, but I dont think the result is that good.

    STORY:
    The story is about a guy whose father died a long time ago? (Nobody is wearing black) leaving his family in a tight situation to the point that the bank send a debt collector. I dont know in fantasy world but in my country even if a nurse comes to your house she will remain at the door and ask "may I come in?" And we dont have guns here, the Constitution doesnt say that you can shoot whoever enters your property without verbal consent.

    So this guy receives a visit from an ex co-worker, and this woman had to be his secretary or something cause her hairstyle is elaborate but that is the only thing of hers that would make her look like the co-worker of a middle aged man.

    The girl talks to the MC about a project of his father , and to access all the project data he has to get in a machine after taking some pills, These pills give some kind of passive aggressive superpowers, dont ask abot the science of how they work cause it doesnt make sense and there are momments where they work passively and moments where it requires activation.
    Anyway, the MC lives with his ""Co-Habitants"" and has a very obvious fixation with the older one, a very verbalized passion for her. The desing of that woman is horrendous, is pretty much a mister potato porn milf, she looks super artificial an unatractive, it catters to a very specific fetish, but personnally there is not enough realism in her design to imagine in my head a real life representation of her. There are a couple of more balanced female characters, but those faces and hairstyles you have pretty much saw them already in other 2000 games, so nothing new.
    As for the sexual content,I found the experience very formulaic and vanilla.
    And the most annoying thing of alll: having to choose options that have 0,5% impact in the development of the story besides a couple of specific scenes where a branch actually happens. And as compensation you get all the characters in the game, which is pretty much a kinetic novel.
    The "NTR" I achieved happens because that person is yours by default, and the most funny part is that she is a married woman, so I dont think it "belongs" to the MC, I mean she has a son and a black husband so, that ship has sailed. I definitely dont think this is a masterpiece. It is not attrocious, but it is closer to it than closer to good.
    I also didnt see any dancing, So I dont udnerstand the title

    This game is a little different. If i reviewed it after chapter 4 i would have given it 5 stars. Through the roof. After playing chapters 5 and on I have trouble giving it more than 3/3.5.


    The good (Great) is centered around the mom. The bulk the rating is nearly entirely her model with a little throw in of Faith who are absolute smokeshows with not only digestable story surrounding them but also the scene pacing with them is great.

    The whatever is the sister's hair? I just dont know what that is. Make it normal.

    The bad is nearly everything else about the storyline. It's... Really not good. It's so fragmented that so much of it feels unneccessary because you dont know where it's all going at this point. The pills feel like an idea barely explored, like the dev was going to do something with it because the gave an easy in to develop relationships then decided to go in a different direction but never took them out of the story. Angelina is just.. There's just nothing there that's enjoyable. From her model to her personallity and the storyline immediately surrounding her is awful.

    This game is just great.
    MILF-type models in lots of positions and animations.
    It has a very well paced corruption of several characters, and "corrupted" scenes are extremely hot. It might feel slow in the first couple episodes, but once it gets going it just doesn't stop.
    It's first time in a long time that i came back to some scenes several time after i've completed the game.
    Oh, yes, functional gallery is here too.
    I'm looking forward for the updates.

    Damn. This game might be the pinnacle of the genre right now.

    Hot characters, entertaining but not overcomplicated story, superb renders' quality aaaaand those Animations! (yes, they are Animations with capital A) - Animations are one of a kind.

    Also probably the only case ever recorded, where remakes are indeed worth the time invested.

    I won't even mention too much about main LI's - they are simply amazing and I will leave it as that.

    Damn!

    First thing I see, trying to download this for the first time, is that this is in a perpetual state of "redevelopment." And by redevelopment, we all know that means they're more than likely just rerendering old images, not actually working on story, mechanics, or anything that doesn't actively get a rise out of the patrons penises. So in a year or so, I expect to se "Ch. 1 super special edition" Because ideas are hard, I'm sure. ALSO, seeing Ch. 5 SE but the last version was Ch.9 I, as a user, don't understand if I'm only getting up to chapter five, or I get chapters 1-5 "remastered" and then everything else up until chapter 9. So, really work on your marketing (This was changed in the OP AFTER I'd started the game). And after starting it up, I realized, this isn't my first time. I played this way back, when I knew it was gonna be nothing but micro updates. The story goes nowhere, nothing makes logical sense, and holding true to their name, this is a boring game. But I will stick through, more than likely my second time getting to chapter 5, and review what I see. From what little I do remember, this is about a (what looks to be)30 year old guy living with his NOTmom and NOTsis that contracts a disease that needs him to jerk off? He hurts his right hand, and since no one in this universe has heard of just using their other hand, everyone tries to help him get off? I guess? Who knows.

    So this all starts out with MC, the only working adult in his house of three grown ass people. He's a bartender with no real skills or personality. One night, at work, a woman just comes up to him and says she could use him for things his NOTdad was working on. It's right here, the beginning, that the "We're avoiding TOS with landlord" makes the story completely fall apart. Why would she need him if he's not blood related in an experiment that she never tells him about? Anyway, he shows up she says he has to use the table and he can only use it with experimental drugs. What any of that means, what the machine does, or what drugs he's taking, HES NEVER TOLD. He just blindly says "Shoot them drug up in me daddy." And it's here you realize he's a drooling moron. Right after, he blacks out, is hit by a car, and ends up in the hospital. What's the first thing he does? Molest his doctor. Wow. But, contrivance to the rescue, his medicine makes angry people horny. So sex happens, then he literally says "I really don't want to use my left hand." But one, why? And two, why does he need to jerk off? At no point was he told he needs to. His entire character is someone so lazy he doesn't want to work or even jerk himself off. What a piece of shit. For some reason I remember this not being so scummy, but I did forget this even existed, so... Great.

    Then you meet Jake. An even worse piece of human trash, MC's best friend. Of course MC tells his idiot friend about his mind control thing right away, it being a secret government project and all. I think that's the only choice that actually matters in terms of "overarching story," not that there is one. Then he begs MC to do his mind control on his mom, so she'll be nicer and be naked. Next, queue up the typical shopping and yoga scenes with NOTmom and a few tropey bratty NOTsis scenes, because why would we be original? I guess here we learn it's the thing from Assassins creed to view memories. But again, it turns out it's probably a mafia story. NOTDad took bad money, then died. Every interaction is completely predictable. The ONLY time MC is serious is when he's talking to Emma about his memories, but I'm sure that will change soon enough. Everything else is him using his last brain cell to get whatever woman he's talking to to touch his dick. While, in the beginning, every interaction with Sarah, they act and talk like they're 14. The mental gymnastics these morons do to arrive at the conclusion "let ME jerk him off" makes no sense, even with the context of "magical super pills that make him emit hormones that affect other peoples hormones." Every single time I have to hear him complain about how bad it is to do it with his left hand, I want his hands to be cut off. And to anyone that "agrees" with him, that fumbling around is how your mythical virgin maiden would touch you.

    Around here is when NOTmom gets fed up with MC and stops doing what they were doing. You know, because she finally realized "I shouldn't be doing this." All MC thinks is "why won't she do it again?" Because he's a piece of shit. I should say, this is all the while MC(and you, the player) are drip fed three frames of NOTdad's memories on the table. My bad, around 10 frames. Sarah's story becomes "I wanna be just like mommy" so her entire character gets reduced to nothing. Sad. Enter lust free spirited NOTcousin trope. She wants weed and will screw her dealer for it. The joke here is, it's legal almost everywhere now so why does she need a dealer? I understand I'm supposed to pretend or whatever, but when MC is a lazy rapey troglodyte, I can't get invested at all. It also takes 4 chapters to get to anything that resembles why this is titled "Shut up and dance." It's a dumb card game they threw in because they were tired of questions about the name. The illusion that this was written by someone that speaks English fades once Kate enters, as well. It'd been slipping for a while, but it gets a little jarring. And the mystery blows its load all at once revealing the big bad guy. Whose beaten right after.

    Then it switches back to pre-rework and while I will say, the renders got much better, just make another game. If I were paying for this, and started seeing remastered versions of things I'd already paid for, I'd be done. Yes, your renders are improving, but every time you get to chapter 5 you're gonna say "Man, chapter 1 looks bad compared to this." It's good to want to improve, but at some point move on. This story isn't even all that good. The English keeps getting worse, and no matter how much the AAA games industry tries to push it, games that were made less than 15 years ago don't need a re-release.To be frank, after around chapter 6 I lost interest entirely. I can see what's gonna happen, none of the characters are any good, and I'm bored. If the "twists and turns" of this surprise you, I'm jealous, please enjoy it. But this isn't for me.

    The English is fine up to about halfway then you start getting jarring non English lines. The UI/UX is pretty good, I think they need to keep all skip options, and probably do away with the random boxing minigame, but effort was actually made. The art, even with the rework and such, is a little inconsistent. But good. The dialogue and story are boring. None of the characters stood out until the very end, and even then it's not very interesting. This is overall just kinda there. Sure, the rework saves it from looking bad, but without that, it doesn't try to be anything more than contrived sex scenes and snowballing plot.

    On one hand, almost everything in this game has been seen before in other games. On the other hand, it's absolutely smokin' hot, looks great, and just keeps building. I literally just posted about wanting to find a really great game in this style. So, yup, five stars from me.
