VN - Ren'Py - Single Again [v1.24.3] [Clever name games]

This AVN was a real disappointment, mainly because of how weak the MC is written. There’s a difference between being submissive and just being a doormat, and this guy is firmly in the second category. If it were an intentional submissive dynamic, especially in a femdom-style story, that could work. But here, he just gets manipulated constantly and barely pushes back. Even when one of the girls calls him submissive, it feels more like a lazy excuse than something the story actually explores.

Then there’s the whole marriage subplot, which is told through a flashback. His best friend ends up pregnant (not by him) and moves in with his family. That part makes sense and feels like something a caring friend might do. But then, out of nowhere, he falls in love with her during the pregnancy and they get married. It just doesn’t feel natural. There’s no build-up or emotional shift—just a sudden jump from long-time friendship to romance. Even as a flashback, it feels like the story wants us to accept this major emotional leap without showing how or why it really happened.

Honestly, in most real-life situations, a guy wouldn’t randomly fall in love with a friend who’s pregnant with someone else’s kid. He might care deeply, sure—but romance would usually be the last thing on his mind. Without that emotional groundwork, the whole thing just feels forced and kind of awkward.

The visuals don’t do much to save it either. It looks like the dev was trying to go for more realistic textures, but it ends up looking off. The models—especially the faces—have this odd plastic feel to them. If this were a more stylized or cartoonish AVN, that might be fine. But since the game is clearly aiming for realism, it just doesn’t fit and ends up breaking immersion.

Overall, between the flat character writing, weird romantic developments, and inconsistent visuals, there’s not much here that sticks. Maybe the dev can grow from this, but as it stands, this one really misses the mark.

(Review of 1.24.3)

An average incest game with babyface girls so the developer has to tell you their age because they could be either 15 or 25, who knows. Their faces look pretty much the same.

This is the kind of game that punishes you for your bad choices with a game over screen, so if you don't like this sort of game, don't bother downloading it. I don't like it either and yes, my rating reflects that.

The story is kind of meh, the writing is just OK and so are the characters. If you have the patience to retrace your steps and retry when you screw up you may even like it, otherwise it can get frustrating.

Story 4/5 - I really enjoy it. Even when it lacks of my fav genres, it's still very pleasurable.
Characters 4/5 - Becca is my fav one ever and others are at least good. Only MC is annoying me a lil bit, too much hesitation.
Graphics 2/5 - It's very bad, especially faces. Hope creator will think about new renders. Not for old scenes, but for new ones.

Always looking forward to update for this game. Good story, good animations, and plenty of options to change the story paths. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars here is some of the transitions could be cleaner and some of the story choices could reflect certain aspects of the game.

But excellent work by the dev. Look forward to more updates.

I love this game or at least what it was. I get the rating doesn't show that, but.....here we go.

This begins as a wholesome-ish story with a guy getting a divorce from his cheating wife and slowly leans into d&d content. I mean the writing is good. The moral struggle of what he goes through and how things build with the daughters is great......until the writing starts to repeat itself. The MC moralizes everything. Everything. To the point of being a giant drag on the story. Other people have already gone over all of the problems with his writing and how dragged out to make updates feel longer.

My biggest gripe is he's a spineless chode. None of the relationships are initiated by the MC. Not one. From his teen years until now, the love of his life who died Jessica was already railed out and knocked up by the time he gets with her being apparently a very easy slut, his second wife who cheats on him with her ex was still banging the father of her children, Lilly and Becca are both shown to be massive sluts who are well experienced by the time MC get to them, and our star attraction, Abby has been getting fucked by Lilly for years. Even the married lesbians have had three other dudes playing the fuck stick in their relationship. Ffs Mei is literally thrown at the MC by her parents. This guy is the literal nice guy trope with zero spine and gets by on the fact he has a massive dick and seems physically appealing to the opposite sex. He initiates nothing and quadruple checks for consent every single time. He's an emotional punching bag who's had pussy thown at him all his life and things just magically work out for him. Even the love of his life makes the comment they would have gotten together sooner if he wasn't such a bitch about getting with her and its pretty written out she falls hard for every dude she let in her pants. All he happened to be was the guy that didn't dump her once he got in her pants. You know, the nice guy. There is zero growth on his part, he just accepts the things happening to him, but mentally struggles while it happens.

What's worse is this is obviously stretched to the point of insanity. A good narrative dragged down by inner struggle of a guy balls deep in his daughters already to drag out the run time and a complete halt to the Abby content to keep the water flowing. At a point I thought it was just an issue of overwriting and the dev just not knowing how to get out of it and then slowly I realized its on purpose. The guy literally has two "daughters" drinking his cum and still stops to think internally how this is bad and it can never happen. He inner monologues about how its SO wrong every time they talk, every time they text, and every time he has a passing thought about anything. It literally adds hours of unneeded content that's just a repeat on how he feels like the audience is too stupid to understand any of it. The dev needs to pull the Abby trigger already, but they won't because then you couldn't have 10 hours of him telling Abby or Lily its wrong anymore. The dev needs to learn no dude is having a dramatic inner monologue while fucking. NOT ONE.

[RANT WARNING]
Then the plot holes started appearing......then free money or easy money.....Becca's magical "vidtube" career, but she's still working a day job she hates which screams this was an afterthought in writing to explain her income. Don't worry she's a smart E-thot, not a dumb one. Its also explained like you haven't been on the internet and how she's a genius for showing her tits on streams. She needs Lily to help her pay for stuff though.....because reasons, but she's also secretly loaded. Then she has "a plan" that she says she's had for 5 years that literally required her mom cheating on you for any of it to work or even better that her seducing you actually worked. Which is even funnier because the Abby stuff is at this point non existent except her staring at your dick......you know because its made of magic or whatever....so the dev adds a random asian girl who he elevates to the position of one of the daughters and forces it on you. Its just a never ending stream of mediocrity while dancing around the Abby stuff. Even worse Lilly will tell you shes in love with Abby and Abby doesn't love her like that. Abby tells you that. They both tell you that over and over and for some reason this wet blanket of an MC keeps telling her Abby is in love with her. Shes not. She says shes not. Lilly knows it. The only person not getting the message is this dude who is so desperate to make his daughter not want to fuck him, even though he thinks about it constantly, so he tries to make her best friend push her feelings on her over and over. World's best dad right here. That's awesome, the girl with insane abandonment issues over and over being forced to be rejected by one of the only two people she's ever been in love with because the one parental she loves and trusts keeps telling her its possible and all to just stretch out this plot so Abby isn't the only one not getting fucked by someone. Then this asshole keeps telling her that they'll be married one day.....completely ignoring that when he says the same to Abby it pisses her off. Like, how does the dude who asks for consent every 5 seconds think his daughter telling him no means she wants the exact opposite. Like I said, father of the fucking year. There's expressing to your daughter you're cool with her being gay, but its not even that. He's actively pushing it and she clearly besides fun DOES NOT WANT IT. I'm not even about the 50 levels of consent, but its fucking gross at a point because he literally gaslights her into it and his sad justification is because she's 18 and is not fucking boys and if you let your friend fuck you then you must secretly love her.....not every 18 year old is a massive slut or gay. Even worse she's clearly throwing herself at him. God I want to punch this dude in the face so fucking bad. This dude is so terrified of his not daughter wanting to fuck him he's buying her sex toys to use on her not girlfriend who he's also fucking......because thats something stand up dads do. It is literally less gross to just fuck her at that point and a whole lot less groomer-ish. It'd be better than tricking her into a relationship then secretly fucking her girlfriend behind her back. Even worse he had to manipulate the most mentally fragile girl he knows to do it. He constantly admits to himself that he wants to and yet the better option is gaslight the daughter. Oh Lilly I know you don't want to cheat on Abby in a relationship I manufactured, and we both agree we hate cheaters, but Abby knows you NEED dick so its okay for you to keep fucking me.....even though she doesn't know we're fucking. What the worst thing is, the dev is gonna write this all as part of Becca's plan and that will make it worse just like the obvious part where she somehow orchestrated her mom cheating on the MC because shes some sort of genius....but also a titty streamer........ffs.

That's just the problem though, not only is this dude a whiny over analyzing weak fuck, he's given everything with no effort and he still chooses to be the biggest piece of shit to the daughter he supposed loves the most just so he can keep some imaginary promise to the dead chick who he played 15th fiddle for. He pontificates about moral boundaries and then cries how sad it is when he breaks them. He gaslights the one daughter everyone wants to see him fuck into a relationship with his other daughter by guilt tripping her just so he doesn't feel bad about wanting to fuck her and so no other dick gets inside her. You literally make everyone hate the living fuck out of this dude and somehow we're supposed to cheer for him? If the dev could spend less time having him monologue his justifications in his own head and being less of a manipulative pos then yeah, maybe. The problem is half your dialogue is him talking to himself about it and making him seem like a bigger douche canoe with every new scene. It takes all the work you do in the writing and makes it infuriating how terrible this guy is.

This is the first time f95 has given me the access to post a review and it might be as well as this one. I haven't played this weg since the hotel room with the older sister update and it was a perfect ending for the time. This is my all time favorite weg and it is perfect money. Cheers

Love this story !
A simple game with a beautiful love story. Not just a bad russian nobrain fuck VN with 2 IQ gameplay. Thanks for this, man ! I think i can sleep good now i know he is a good step-father ;-)

Easily the best game on here.

This review needs 200 characters. Go to his SS, subscribe. Give him money for an excellent job. His characters show he's actually thought about this, and they don't react to everything like porn stars.

He's entering into relationships with women he thinks of as his daughters. Not surprisingly, he's hesitant and unsure. There's some good writing in the emotional beats of the story, and this is the only game I'm prepared to pay a subscription for.

nice one, not have an incest story but seems like incest as well good job, i love it to see jaye ans mall in the game too and hope to see more actions with other girls too, Abby should shine soon too she deserves a happy life with her daddy

I don't know where to begin with this one.

This game, is a disappointment, perhaps one of the most frustrating games I've played, it is full of potential to be among the better games in this trope/genre, but the dev keeps failing to deliver what the game seems to be advertising. From the beginning of the game, it establishes Abby as the main girl, the primary LI, the one that will always be there. And yet, the plot has veered away from that narrative, instead having progress inch along. We have seen the same dance so many times, we have seen the same dialogue so many times, it has become almost comical. I don't know if it's because the Dev is scared of patreon nuking the page, but if it's that much of a risk start to push other means of support, instead of just never crossing the line that the game explicitly advertises. Instead, Abby has been relegated to being nothing more than eye candy for us, no real content (At least the content most who download the game actually want).

This is a harem game, and the other members of the harem aren't...terrible.
Lily and Becca, the two sisters, both have a good amount of sex scenes, but both seem to have stagnated a little when it comes to progress. The girls designs seem to be built around tropes and checkboxes rather than actually attempting to create unique models. Abby is the big ass girl, Becca is the big tits girl, Lily is the jailbait, Mei is the Asian, the two lesbians are the lesbian converts, it's like noticing you're just watching star wars again when you watch a tv show or movie.

Continuing with the other girls of the harem, Becca is a little over the top, she becomes this mastermind of not-incest seduction and harem building, pushing more and more sex onto the mc. It can get a little weird at times, even though this is a porn game. The dev tries to find this balance between a heavy, emotional story about grief and finding love and support from those around you, with a very sex heavy incest harem story, and they kinda just mash together messily.

The last main girl of the Harem is Mei, and she kinda pisses me off. She feels shoehorned in, her sex scenes aren't very emotional or erotic, just a little standard submissive Asian scenes. When I say she feels shoehorned in, I mean that when she is added to the harem, it feels like it's just because the mc saw her, got hard, and Becca noticed it. There isn't a believable past relationship to justify her being placed on the same pedestal as Abby, Lily and Becca. The last two "memebers" of the harem are a lesbian couple who live in the same apartment complex as MC and the girls, and they feel similar to Mei in that they kinda came out of nowhere, but they also are not forced into the narrative nearly as much as Mei, so their presence is much more tolerable. I even kind of enjoy that the MC has someone from outside his family to talk to.

All in all, this game is riddled with problems that I feel like are pretty fixable, but I also feel like the Dev will be unwilling to do so. I think this game is appropriately rated, and still do recommend trying it out if you're a fan of the genre, but it does have some misleading tags, there is no anal sex, only butt plug play and mentions of anal fingering, and there is borderline NTR, but it is girl on girl, so keep that in mind. I still find some enjoyment playing this game, I really want to see how the dev resolves the Abby dilemma he's created, and I probably will keep checking in.

Version: 1.24.2
Not a great story, and not great animation, but sexy situations and faces. This is a young girl harem Fantasy, Emphasis on Fantasy.

[Story]- This is one of those works where the writer likes to write Too Much. The characters are having normal conversations just like real life. It's quite slice of life, real life like, and... mundane. If you're not into slice of life, you may end up skipping a lot of dialogue. The writer made up a Ton of background info about their characters, and they didn't know how to show you in an interesting way, so they just keep throwing it at you via dialogue. The story itself is nothing fancy. The MC basically is a deranged guy that wants these girls, but he keeps "resisting" and trying to justify and rejustify his thoughts, the same as all the other "guilt" games, and just as boring/annoying. Now the Fantasy part is that he is actually hung And gives women orgasms multiple times, and is apparently just Really f-ing hot, and all the chicks want to throw themselves at him; and even guys want to throw chicks at him. So the Actual plot completely fails, because with such assets, there's no way that his wife would have cheated on him. Also, there is a mastermind vixen that has been scheming this harem for 10 years and is enabling him... Anyway, I wouldn't take story really seriously at all and just focus on your "relationships" if you're into that.

[Gameplay]- The story is fairly linear, and choices generally just decide which scenes you will and won't get, with some branching later on. I am not sure how the later branching works, as I play with the walkthrough mod on. There is no audio to speak of.

[Scenes]- There is a somewhat unique thing here where some girls would pov lean in and kiss you. It is more cute than sexy. The models are sexy. The scenes themselves are usually not that great, maybe 50:50. Some of them have bad angles, there's some PoV ones that only show the upper quarter of their body, scenes usually look like they're sliding up and down rather than pounding, scenes cycle between angles and one is unable to manipulate that, the breasts tend to look unnatural in a lot of scenes. One thing that is a lot better than other games is that the faces look Great(during scenes). One sex act usually consists of multiple scenes, so you're very likely to find one that you'd like.

I honestly don't understand the hate I read from a lot of people here.
Of course, to each its own opinion and mine is that this is a really good and well written game.

Yes, the game is fiction and yes in real life these events would never play out like in this game, but still the MCs struggle to accept all the attention he is getting seems (under the given circumstances) legit.
Yes he is kind of spineless that he lets himself get pushed into some things he shouldn't be in to in the first place by making up lame excuses "it's her house", but here we are.

For me the game writing is very immersive, yes there is lot of dialog, but it still is fun to read and get the background stories of the characters.
Even the side-games (Lillith's Longing and Rebecca's Reckoning) provide even more depth to the characters, or at least the history how things came to be.
Of course these should be made after the main game is finished, but that's my opinion, (Yes I generally dislike any Christmas or Halloween updates too because all the resources go to a side story whereas I am dying to find out how the main story continues, that applies to all games, not just this one.)

I never got my hand on the older versions, so I can't compare the "old" with the "new" models, where a lot of people complain about.

Also i did not get my hands on the 1.4.1 version that was apparently hated for pushing Abby into a relationship with someone,
Something that she in my opinion clearly already has, yet is in denial, most likely because of her attraction to MC that she does not want to jeopardize.
(I am however quite curious how the original dialog was before dialed down to the current 1.4.2 version, where no relation is established yet)

There are some plot holes here and there, where characters act way more free in one scene, and seem to revert back to much more coy in the next.
This is especially the case with Mei if you ask me, in one scene she suggests taking the pictures as an initiation, on the next she is stammering again to ask or respond to even the simplest thing.

So for me the game is absolutely an recommendation to anyone who wants a more immersive story than a lot of simple "quickfap(tm)" games.

Some people seem to call the relationship between two characters in the game NTR, but as someone that seriously hates NTR content, I never ever felt this to be NTR, but more of an insight in the background of a character, or two in this case"

PRO:

- Nice graphics, Nice animation

- No sound FX (No fake moaning sounds)

- Great immersive story that feels kind of real (within the "unrealistic" sense)

- Optional Side-games if you want to have even more insight into the background of characters / other point of view, but if you don't, you can skip them.

CON:

- The updates schedule is very slow unfortunately, So I am afraid we all have to wait for 4 - 6 months before another update.

- Not particularly fond of the fairies in the the dreams as it sometimes drags a little, but they do serve a purpose in the game and give an insight into the struggles of the MC, so I'll allow it

- Mei; She is my least favorite character in the game. She is just a little...too much with her insecurities, I find dealing with her almost a chore. (And I agree that I don't find the model used for her appealing, but that's a matter of taste)

- Abby's storyline so far; Her interest is VERY clear to everyone, they even talk about it in the game itself, it is clear what has to happen, yet every time steps are taken, they just don't follow through. Which can be frustrating at time(Or just building anticipation I guess), but we'll see (Fractured Fairytales has a dream that seems to give an insight into a hopeful future)

This game started really good, i usually don't like the slow burn stuff, but it was ok. Well to a certain point, for some reason the history started going circles, something happen, its solved and the same stuff becomes a problem again and while talking to solve stuff, the dialogs repeat like 4 times the same explanation, its just loop.

About the girls
lilly is a very mixed feeling, shes kinda crazy and stuff, but you see it improving whit progression, but she just loops back and keeps cock blocking and sort of go into NTR you with abby with their lesbian stuff all the time, also for no reason the dev made her a whore.

Abby is the worst part, there's progression for like 10% of the game, them it became stale forever and that's it, forget her, the dev will milk her forever, probably will have 1 scene at the end of the game, in maybe 5 more years.

Becca was just too boring that i don't even care about her in the game, she goes planing the stuff, and for me that's it.

Version reviewed is 1.24.2

The graphics and models are good. The story line, which is sometimes emotional, is better than most VNs. Although that's a low bar. Some plot holes and the character narratives all sound alike.

I really wanna like this, I really do.
I like the characters, I enjoy the interactions. But man theres just so many glaring issues with this that drive me nuts. I'm not finished the story yet but I think I'm far enough through thousands of dialogues that I can finally weigh in a bit and give a really fair critique. JK I was literally like one 10,000 word essay away from the end so I did finish this update.

Abby being the starter. Is this gonna happen or isnt it? I've been at this VN for several hours at times even just spam clicking the same boring, over-sold dialogue possible where the characters just repeat the exact events that just happened or go through this long winded conversation of saying essentially the same thing 18 different ways. If Abby is gonna happen with the "MC" why do we need the constant I mean its like at the point of writing where I'm beyond everyone being part of the group and together, united, yadayada. I'm just so tired of hearing about all these escapades, the constant pushover of a mc just letting stuff happen and even encouraging it in ways while its like bro, its your daughter and your still in the mindset mostly, why do you need to be so involved in this aspect of her life lol. It's like borderline NTR in a way.

Then we go onto Lily who had serious character progression but at times she just feels hollow and like an empty shell devoid of personality. Your recommended to play a side story of hers, which this time is literally NTRing yourself lol. You get to learn all Lily's dirty deeds and be a part of everyone using her like a fleshlight! Yeah nah, wasn't for me, stayed far away from that, but again just really really weird, Single Again started wholesome, but got progressively more depraved while still trying to retain this weird wholesome angle that just gets worse and worse as time goes on.

Becca, she's probably the only okay character, but again MC lacks a backbone in almost every situation, but for whatever reason pushes harder back on Becca than any other character which confuses me the most. Idk its just strange, I cant really say much on it. She's the oldest and the one that probably listens the most, and is the most respectful of the bunch outside her banter with Lily but the MC only takes a more dominant figure with her than anyone else when it comes to "meddling and breaking rules" meanwhile is just completely cool with everyone else doing w/e they want for the most part.

Rest of the cast I dont have much to say they're just kinda there and doing their thing as far as I'm aware, not really doing anything that is worthwhile of mentioning other than the dialogue with Meiko being extremely drawn out and borderline snoozefest because MC just repeats himself 35 times every single conversation they have and beats a dead horse harder than a loose hooker on a free friday night special. Seriously its painful at times lol.

I'm not really trying to slam the creator in any way, dont get me wrong but man this has to be one of the wordiest stories I ever played that just doesnt say or do anything as a whole lol, IDK if its just for the purpose of filler or what. The character models are great, the animations are nice, but the writing is just so painful and I mean that respectfully, just too much detail and description and beating home points that just dont need to be, its like artificial time waste at this point.


At this point I'm just like "is Abby ever gonna be part of this? Is she ever gonna break away from what she's doing? Can we stop pseudo-cucking the MC with his daughter?" It's just weird to me honestly lol. Idk wasnt a big fan. Theres alot of work into this i respect it, giving it a 3 (would be 2.5 if i could really) because at the end of the day everythign that matters is average, the only good stuff is the unique models and the animations at best.

As much as I wanted to enjoy this game, I just couldn't. Single Again is a prime example of what happens when you follow a tired formula without even trying to be unique. It's yet another addition to the pile of sloppy, boring, repetitive games on this website. It's one of those games that take you on the thrilling journey of waking up... taking a shower... eating breakfast... talking to the daughter... saying "what we did last night was wrong and can't happen again"... eating lunch... watching porn... going to a bar/club... It is so. Fucking. Boring. It's the exact same story we've read countless times before, as if you fed every low-effort AVN to an AI and used it to create a game with all the bad qualities of the daddy-daughter genre.

If you scroll down, you'll see a lot of people mentioning the protagonist and how insufferable he is. That's because of how much he overthinks and overreacts to every little thing that comes off as even slightly inappropriate. A casual remark at the bar can turn into an awkward conversation on the couch the next morning, just because Abby was a bit tipsy and talked about boobs once. The MC is just so fucking dramatic. Any father would be happy to hear his daughter call him "daddy" again after many years, but not this one. He needs to have a cringeworthy monologue in his head about how awkward it is. And the conversations, man... It's the most mundane, aimless and stiff dialogue ever written for a porn game. The "story" doesn't go anywhere and just keeps running in circles as the MC struggles with his conflicted feelings. The best way to describe the dialogue of this game is "constipated." This is the most constipated, awkward and self-conscious dialogue I've ever read in a porn game, and that's saying something.

I'm not saying that the game should ignore the taboo and jump right into full penetration impregnation freaky sex on the first five minutes. I'm saying that there are better ways to approach the father-daughter dynamic without boring your readers. The characters just don't feel human. They act and talk like machines, like when you're talking to a co-worker while your boss is in the same room. It's just unnatural and boring, the complete opposite of a game meant to arouse. If you want a realistic depiction of characters struggling with a taboo relationship, play Chasing Sunsets. You'll see what I mean.

The forced lesbian content is also detestable, especially considering that Abby and Lilith have been fucking each other for years, long before developing an interest in the MC. I don't mind forced lesbian content when it's relevant to the plot or serves to elevate their relationship with the MC, as is the case with Light of My Life. That's not the case here. When I found out that this is basically a parent story to a few other side games, it all made sense to me. This is one of those devs who like to write stories about wild young girls exploring each other and sleeping around. And instead of writing Abby's relationship with Lilith differently for the main game, they just went with it. Props for sticking to what they enjoy. I still don't like it, though.

And as if that wasn't enough, the MC is also disgustingly submissive. And that's not an opinion; the characters literally talk about it in the game. Being submissive is like his whole thing. The writing constantly reminds us that this isn't the MC's story. It's Abby, Lilith and Rebecca's story, just like how they are the protagonists of their own side games. The MC is a redundant cuck, a tool for bringing the girls together as they fuck each other behind his back while he jerks off to porn and has wet dreams about getting cheated on or seeing Abby and Lilith fucking. He even gives them his blessing to date and marry each other, almost like he's pushing for them to go steady. Regardless of the gender of the people involved, that's textbook cuck behavior. This piece of shit spends the entire game whining about how wrong it is to even look at his step-daughters, then proceeds to encourage the step-sisters to fuck each other. I don't even know what to say. It's unbelievable how badly written this game is.

As for the other aspects of the game, there's not much to say. The graphics are fine, and I really have no reason to bash anything other than the MC and the writing in general. One thing I could say is that the character models are very dated and unoriginal. They legit used one of the default Daz models for the MC, the one we usually see being used for that one asshole character in every other VN ever made. The unlikable characters completely ruin the experience, and the sexual content really isn't worth it. This isn't even a "slow burn" type of game. It's freezing cold, dry and dead.

Graphics4/5
Story 3.5/5 *The story is good except for the MC's character traits which drags my overall score way down. See blelow.
Sex scenes 4/5
Character/writing of love interests 5/5
MC character writing 0/5
Overall 3/5


This is way worse than it needs to be. The Dev can write well, but the way he portrays the MC is absolutely horrible. I understand the initial reluctance of the MC to start getting involved physically with his ex-step-daughters and his adopted but now adult daughter. (Adopted might be the wrong term here, she's not his though his name was put on the birth certificate.) But his whining never stops. He keeps doing stuff with them all the while acting and sounding like a scared teenage girl who's about to lose her virginity for the first time.

"We can't! We shouldn't! Oh no, I'll be ruined if anyone finds out!" Like seriously, man the eff up! This hesitant whining, and I don't think we should do this crap, all the while he's actually still doing stuff is a major flaw in what otherwise could've been a great game. It's actually quite pathetic. Someone needs to tell the Dev that since the MC is divorced from the two sister's mom, that he can legally eff them anytime they want and he can't get in any trouble from anyone. Same with his deceased wife's daughter. She's not related. He can date all of them publicly and no one can do a thing. The MC's paranoia is unwarranted and dumb as hell to keep hearing about.

If it wasn't for the MC, I'd have given this game 4.5/5 but I can't stand him anymore. I'm done with it. This definitely needs a rewrite. It'd be way better if the MC was written as being okay with being with them after his initial hesitation is overcome. If the cringe whining actually came to a stop it'd be worth suffering through. It doesn't. Instead the MC turns into a massive Arsehole by saying that 'we can't do it again' after having effed them once. So he's okay to do it but then afterwards tries to say we can't do it again! That's pretty effing low.

Edit* Another annoying thing is how he harps on and on about sleeping with Abby nude...They aren't nude! Does he NOT know what underwear is? Words and definitions matter. If they somehow progress to actually sleeping together in the nude, what's he goign to say then? That they're extra nude? Nude-nude? So dumb.

And to add to above before the edit. It's pretty low of the scumbag to blame Becca for his effing Lilly. He's the one who did it regardless of any manipulation. Again, what a whining loser who can't take responsibility for his own actions and desires. This game could've been great but not with the way the Dev has written the MC.

It's a game about corruption; yet at some point you realize that the game is four times as long as it needs to be.

The dev should've told a story, do it well and then move on to the next game. But he seems to be farming his patreon? I have no idea.

It's frustrates me because I liked the game the first time I've played it and every time I play it, it gets worse.

The story pulls you in, the sex scenes get a bit better the more you get into it.
Some of the characters can be overwhelming and there's definitely improvement to me made. The newest updates seem to be a bit rushed but still enjoyable.
Overall a great experience and a fun VN.

Great game (in concept), fulfills the family fantasy, has good writing and hot girls. I appreciate the references that could be ignored but enhance the metaphor, and the use of off-screen conversations is actually really clever. It's nice that we aren't 100% privy to everything being said between characters. I think that adds a lot of depth. The writer clearly has a strong grasp of perspective and a lot of good twists on the usual stereotypes. There is a lot of heart.

Gameplay: 5/5

Average VN clickathon with the occasional choice. Besides the occasional Game Over, the choices seem more impactful than they probably are, but many are enough to calm the most annoying aspect of this game I'll get into in the story section.

Sex: 3/5

It's spicy enough to keep you clicking. A good job has been done with the teasing poses that don't lead anywhere. While the early sex scenes seem pretty forced because the dev knows they are taking too long for payoffs, they are well made and there is good dialogue in them.

Story: 3/5
Story with this MC as our protagonist: -10/5

Boy is this MC annoying as hell. The writer has fallen victim to something so many writers of these games keep doing, which is being paranoid about their own fetish. There's a better balance to be had between suspending my disbelief and trying to justify every sexual decision a protagonist in a harem game makes.

I get it, resistance is realistic for an MC in the D&D scenario. It's admirable even. But there is a limit and this game like many overdoes it with the MC resisting our player's urges over and over ad nauseum until you wonder why it doesn't just go full realistic and have the entire premise be denied and the characters just live happily ever after never having sex with each other.

I wish writers of these would stop being so cowardly. Realize that realistically, these girls would NOT be sexually persuing the MC, and indulge a little. Should there be a good amount of anticipation and the breaking down of barriers in order to have narrative conflict? Absolutely. But having the MC resist so fervently at every turn and constantly berate himself internally, debate with everyone who wants his dick at all times, and basically try to leave the story being told at every turn? That's too fuckin' much and it does more to take me OUT of a story than keep me in it.

Realism is broken by the very premise of the game, I'm already buying in, don't make me yell at the screen for the character to accept affection the 5th time it's been thrown at him and not have a pity party about it for the 10 minutes before and after. It's really a turn off.

And I only ever get annoyed by this in games that are really good and push that potential to a breakpoint where my immersion is ruined by a complete disconnect from MC's sexual needs to my own. Teasing is great, and buildup is nice, but the pace has a limit and this game reaches it often when the MC can't shut the fuck up for 5 seconds about how wrong this all is. Feeling guilty about the taboo is appropriate, but don't push that guilt on the player for hours because eventually it stops being a fun tease and just becomes annoying.

Anyways, the game is great and I do want to play more. I just wish writers would relax and lean into what they and us clearly want. There is an attitude somewhere between "I'm an asshole who fucks anything that moves" and "omgomg this is so wrong I must have this internal conflict for a year before I allow my dick to be touched". Let the MC in on the fetish for a while. He doesn't need to be the ultimate hero and perfect father, that kind of person doesn't exist anyway. MC can indulge without suddenly being a perverted addict. Relax.

***EDIT*** I've played a whole lot more of the game and I sadly have to reduce my rating from 4 to a 2. It's so much worse the longer the Mc goes on. While there are so many moments that scream with the potential to have a great sexy VN, there are far more moments where I'm screaming at the screen for the MC to get his fucking head out of his ass. The breakpoint was taking Lilith into the hotel room. She jumps on the bed and asks to "play" and his denial response was so infuriating that I've finally quit playing and refuse to continue.

It really is heartbreaking, but even after accepting a sexual relationship with her, he continues to be a gaslighting piece of shit whose emotional manipulation and narcissism is so intense he's completely lost all capacity for being able to self-insert. This man is disgusting. If he just fucked the shit outta them every chance he got, he would be a better man than he is, which is saying he's down for a harem while fully denying the sexual needs of his partners. It's not even that I need the sexual content, my dick never left my pants during this teasefest, it's that he wants total control over the minds of his daughters and questions their every decision to rely on him. He is basically a fucking cult leader but the writer has deluded themself and us into thinking that he has their best interests at heart and is helping them as a father. He is not. He is giving them toys and then taking them away whenever he wants in order to control them emotionally. It's fucking gross and I'm done with it. At this point he cannot be redeemed. Poor Lilly...
