VN - Ren'Py - Sinful Summer: A Tale of Forbidden Love [Ch.3.4] [Ruykiru]

Definitely one of the best visual novels on this site. The plot, narrative, dialogues, music, and graphics are all at the highest level, and the scenes are visually stunning. It's clear that the developer has put a lot of love and effort into his project. I would highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys this genre.

This is the game with the most realistic character details in the entire H game series that I've ever played, the plot is good, the character's psychological developments are extremely unique, the H scenes I rate as almost absolutely cinematic, if in the future there are more strong fetishes, I think it will be great. you guys DEFINITELY need to take a try

10/10 game, one of the best incest games that exists.

Great story, great animations, great characters, basically a perfect game. Always looking forward to the next updates. Keep up the great work dev.

[ch. 3.2]

the game has good story feels pretty realistic well writen i love it
mom and sis cannot be better than that
great build up. which is kind of important too in games that you don't jump in right away. i find it alot more intresting.as long as there is a endgoal and not giga grind which is not so its awesome. great teasing.
models are excellent
animations are amazing

10/10 for me

I really like this AVN, the story is very deep and pretty good at the realistic moral issues people would have with an incestuous relationship. Although I did feel that the male was a bit of a wus for to long lol. I love the animations and models. Keep up the good work

GREAT, great art, models are so hot especially the mother in this, fun story, hot build up cant really ask for much more really. Except for tons of incest which this delivers on perfectly. keeep the tissues and lotion ready.

Love the entire premise, it's very well written with realistic views on incest. I absolutely enjoyed the shit out of this kn, thanks so much. I highly recommend giving it a try, even if it isn't your cup of tea. Keep up the great work mate!

A master piece! First been attracted by the modelling, and then when dig into the story, things just getting more and more interesting:

the inner thoughts, expression, plot progress, the camera angle, scenarios, transitions, sound effects, the music shift-in,

and even actual songs with vocal and lyrics reflect the situations. (It gives me Goosebumps when the song starts when the twins kissing). I love all the music, I even just leave the game open on main menu just for the soundtracks while do other things.

Every details been paid attention! Honestly, it is so good that I want to continue playing even without the "porn" elements. Seeing the interaction among the family members and the naughty teasing moments are enjoyable already! This is not just a game nor novel, it is a movie.

Lyna is such a cute and sweet girl, with all the various outfits in different scenes, and close-up shoots into detailed expressions. So vivid! I can tell developer put a lot thoughts and love into the characters' developments.

I've tried other VN before, some of them may have good renders or interesting plots, they just felt so flat, it's just like porno magazines, photos or comics which I never stick till the end. But this one, with all the right elements on point together leads into wonderful experience. I think this is the true form of VN.

Finally a good incest really not something like OH YA DİCK BİG GİVE ME BİG BRO but actually well devolopted timed well sex scenes and story.

Amazing really amazing normally sometimes reviews can be ass and fake but for this game thsi reviews LEGİT if you wanna play it play it you not gonna regret it but know that GAEM İS SLOW STORY İS SLOW AND GETTİNG GOOD İS SLOW so know that well but let me tell this when things start to happen and getting to good OMG its so good really love it.

Models and characters personality i love it really really its well made and like i said before story is amazing too SO THİS İS 5 STAR easly one of the best incest ever made on this site.

IMO one of the best stories on here incest or otherwise. I like a good slow burn and there's also not many AVN told from multiple viewpoints. And its refreshing that its one of the FMC's who at least to start is the bolder one.
The characters feel well rounded & the story feels fleshed out with really well written & rendered sex scenes.

Very good story, good character development... attractive and complete, this game could entertain you, so be careful when downloading it, you could become addicted.
Of course, for the author's first game, not everything is perfect, the renderings are sometimes a little limited, especially the lighting effects, but personally, I play mainly for the development of the story and the fantasies that result from it or that I find in certain characters.
Keep it up, man. See you soon.

Simply beautifully perverted. For an h-animations driven story, the characters have depth, both in behaviour and still posing. The renders are of good quality, looking especially slick in the QHD version. Mistakes are rare and hard to find. The music is the cherry on top, it uniquely adds to the characters and story.
The cons, somewhat standard story arc and at moments meagre background/environment, do not weigh up the pros.
All in all, an excellent work from a solo developer, and worth some support.

I keep on procrastinating writing a review because I feel like I need to do this VN justice with a proper "good" review... but I'm not a writer so I'll cut to the chase.

Sinful Summer one of those cases when you've got a comparatively simple premise that is done expertly (and that's a GREAT thing!). Ruykiru gets the kink, and knows how to write really good scenes that explore the power dynamics and the taboo that make the fantasy actually hot.

Perhaps I'm just burnt out after having played a bunch of the mainstream recommendations but it's honestly refreshing to read a good story not weighed down by feature bloat and the flawed idea that more choices and generic characters make the experience more immersive. I'm also really enjoying Ruykiru's choice to go against the grain and make Lyna be the main one moving the story forward most willing to push boundaries, even though she seems to love being a sub, meanwhile Helga is more dominant but conflicted and unknowingly target of Lyna's schemes, and Erik is caught between the desires of the two (and his own).

Insanely well written and the characters are within reasons and nothing is over the top. All actions are kinda relatable. Can be quite dramatic but that doesn't hurt the story in the slightest, enhances it even.

5/5

It’s hard to explain why I loved this story so much, but to keep it shortt... Is an exceptional work. I’ve never seen anything as well written as (Sinful Summer) before. The soundtrack, character design, and storytelling are all outstanding, making it an incredibly enjoyable read. I could easily lose myself in it for hours. It’s simply a masterpiece (rare to find in the world of adult games). Even if this genre isn’t usually your thing, give (Sinful) a chance. I promise, you’ll love it.

[Ch. 3.1]
4.5/5

A great morally complicated slow burn story. The story gets better and better as I go. Good H-scenes with sound effects.

I have not played all the way through the new content but so far, not a huge fan of Lyna losing her pubic hair per an ignored vote. Also albeit a nice change of pace from Lyna, I am not a huge of fan of Helga's massive bush and back pain inducing boobs.

[Ch. 3.2] This game is really good. After a long while i finally found another game where i can confidently say it is creme de la creme. Not only great but uniquely so too. Firstly the family dynamic is not usual, in the sense of the daughter is the corrupting force in this one rather than the male doing all the pushing. The models are great and detailed, pubic hair of the sis even changes throughout the game. There is music too. Highly recommend the game, download it and take your time with it, youll not regret it

So in context, this is a passionate and wholesome incest story. Lyna is "IN LOVE" with his brother and she's slowly making moves on him. Going the extra mile with every attempt and so on. And it turns out, the twin brother is in love with her as well! He can't show his love that well because he is kind of a wimp. Then the mother shows up, and guess what? Lyna is in love with her mother as well! I wish you a happy ending with both Lyna!

However in reality; Lyna is a manipulative, corruptive little bitch. Warning everyone! This is NOT a wholesome story. Lyna exploits her mother's innocent love and uses it for her own sexual desires so she slowly corrupts her, and has all the fun in the world while she does that.

Now don't get me wrong. I love the idea of corruption in these games. It's very fun when it's done right. Although, when you give so much context explaining that this is an indeed "romantic relationship", whilst the FMC is a conniving little cunt, then I'd say fuck the right off. Lyna is no more than a spoiled horny brat who uses everything is her power to manipulate both her family members for her own good.

And don't get me started on the cringy song that plays in 2.4-Reward scene. Romantic story my ass.

Phew. Animations are good. Models are decent. Soundtrack is fine except the one I mentioned above. Pacing is good as well, if you cut out certain parts of course. Maybe dev could've introduced some new characters, that could be nice.

Overall 3/5. You should give it a try.
Oh, did I mention I reeeaaly dislike Lyna?

tl;dr
That's how an incest story should look like. Good slow burn, good H-scenes. [Ch. 3.1 ]4.5/5

Pros:

Story
The story is focused solely on the characters' relationship. No grand conspiracies, no zombies, no magic mind-control books, no bullshit.


Slow burn
Well-paced romantic progression, conflicting feelings, taboo vibes — not your average "hi sis, long time no see, let's fuck lol."


Characters
There are only 3 main characters, and they’re well-written. Each of them has their own perspective on what's going on. It’s not a typical harem with 20 LIs who only exist to crave the male MC’s dick.


H-scenes
Mostly (see cons below) well done. They're long, with good build-up, plenty of hot dirty talk. The animations have multiple angles.

Neutral:

Music videos
Just not my thing — too cringy. I’d much rather have narration or dialogue during those moments.

Cons:

Not enough narration in H-scenes
Yeah yeah, “show, don’t tell” and all that, but it doesn’t work for me — especially in H-scenes. I love eroticism in VNs, so I enjoy good narration or at least the characters' thoughts. Random dialogue about potential events kills the mood, no matter how hot the events are — it just clashes with what’s happening on screen.


Visuals
Honey Select. I hate it — mostly because the male characters are ugly. Erik looks relatively okay, though. The female models look good. Maybe Lyna’s butt is too big — it feels unbalanced. The animations are well done, but I’d love more POV shots. Around 80% of the angles keep faces off-screen, and that’s not cool.

While I can always appreciate a good incest story, especially if it's between several members of the same household (preferably with just ONE male character), this one starts out as your typical incest fantasy game premise.

While I don't exactly share the same feelings of others thinking it's 5* worthy, so far it started off as a major slow burn but by the time you reach the end of the current update, we do finally get to see some good progression, so the wait isn't as long as it could have been. Something that is also different with this VN is that there are multiple protags (fraternal twins and their mother) who are the focus of this story... dad is out of the picture.

Since this is a multi-protag story, each character has their own agency over how they eventually decide to give in to the temptation and their reasons for it. As such, we get multiple points of view, even if some we might agree with more than others, as Erik's POV is decidedly more frustrating initially compared to his sister Lyna or their mother Helga. In many ways Lyna can almost at times be mistaken as the Main Protag since she tends to drive the narrative and the progress of how they all will eventually arrive at where we know what will end up happening.

Just be advised, Lyna (who is revealed to be bi/bi-curious) is also interested in Helga while being a massive brocon with her twin Erik, so this isn't your typical male power fantasy where the solo male character will be the only one getting any action with his LIs. I would describe this as more of an incestual poly-relationship rather than an actual throuple-harem.
