Review of version 0.08
This is a very cute game about the budding romantic relationship between MC and his "daughters".
The MC-s long struggle to not see his daughters, who become more and more flirty towards him, in a sexual way make a much better story than the usual MC suddenly realizes that his family member looks sexy and immediately becomes a perverted creep we see is a lot of games.
This slow buildup however means that even if the game offers many hours of gameplay, there is barely any erotic scenes between MC and his daughters.
There are some side sex scenes and some scenes that happen during MC dreaming or fantasizing which are actually not bad but in the current version at the time of the review the maximum that happened between MC and the girls is seeing them naked and some kisses.
There are some issues why the game didn't receive a full score from me however.
I have no problem if the graphics are not top notch in a game or if the style is not very realistic, so this is not the issue. My problem is that the game uses a mixture of models with different graphic styles. There are some characters that look close to real life, like MC or Vanessa for example, and there are the daughters who look more like characters from a Disney movie.
There are also some characters that might use a 3rd style which is also very "cartoony" like Beth for example.
This is not such a big issue normally, because game is POV so MC is not shown much together with the girls but looks extremely bad with Vanessa and Beth, who often appear together.
A very important plot device is that the apartment where MC and Abby move in at the start of the game has only one bedroom and one bed. In other games using the same plot device the MC-s family is usually forced by some circumstances to live in that specific apartment and cope with the situation. In this game I don't feel they had no other choice and therefore the whole conflict seems fake. Yes, they don't have much money and no other place to stay, but apartment is in a well situated area and is in a very good state. MC was renting it out before. From this money they should be able to find a somewhat worse apartment with 2 bedrooms. Also MC seems very hypocritical about this conflict when he always sleeps in his underwear which is part of the reason he is not willing to sleep in the same bed as Abby. Don't tell me he doesn't have a t-shirt or some other pants he could use other than his suite!
Some things with the timeline seem off a bit. According to her Bio Shannon finished high school and then met her first husband, but Becca was born when she was only 16, so she should have been still in school. Also the timeline barely leaves enough time for her to get another guy after breaking up with MC. I also don't know why dev had to make the timeline so that Abby's mother started having sex at age 12-13 according to the story which seems to be a bit early. I'm not sure whether that was a mistake.
The game's first part was not so enjoyable for me sometimes even irritating. MC constantly napping like a narcoleptic (in hindsight this might have been because of his nightmares but as this wasn't explained at that time nor was it important later on I find it meaningless), Lily's constant but justified bitching (MC seemingly couldn't learn she doesn't like he calls her that in the 10 or so years they lived together), the repeatedly shown nightmare sequence (that later turned out to be important with the appearance of fairy Abby but first you had to go through it 3 times seemingly pointlessly as MC didn't even remember it) and so on but the game becomes better as the story goes forward.
In later parts the relationship with the girls seems to be advancing nicely, some looming dangers (divorce, telling Abby about her father) were relatively successfully avoided, hopefully non of the future traps will turn into a depressing overly dramatic plot that takes a long time to resolve and the relationship between MC and the girls will progress further without major setbacks.
