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

I wasn't sure if rank 4 or 5 stars, because the game has small issues that bugs me a lot.
But I must acknowledge that since I started I was clearly hooked on the story and was unable to leave.
Most of the complaints are about the game over screens and the inconsistency of some behaviour but they didn't seemed like a problem to me. Having renpy rollback and having being advised at the beginning of the game "don't be too pervert at the beginning" that are easy to manage.
My complaints are that it copies the game mechanic of another game about a parent dating his daughter... We all know the game, is even referenced in this game several times.
These mechanics are the commented game over at the start of the game, the multiple dialog options that must all be selected, without actual relevance, but the most annoying one option decision . Specially relevant in the sex scenes.
The other thing that made my think of reducing one star is the unexpected end of chapter 1, to soon in my opinion:

I have to admit up front this is one of my favorites on this site. That having been said I feel the MC must live in ohio because the amount of fear he has of prosecution even though its fauxcest is terribly high (ohio has a law that anyone "in loco parentis" messing with any of their charges regardless of age can be prosecuted even without blood ties) the art is excellent the character developement is good for all (a little slow for MC ) I just d/l'ed the newest update and am expecting another fun filled hour of gameplay if you are wondering... yes d/l it its worth the time

I hate this game because of the MC. He's a pushover from the start of the game, but I hoped that he would progress through the game. But, no, instead he just more whiny the longer I keep playing. So, I just had to quit after the
Then it doesn't matter that th sex scenes are good and that it's a pretty good main story. I can't stand when a MC acts like this. He say one thing, act according to that just to back off from what he said.

TLDR; It may be a slow burn but once you get to the point where Lily is ready to call you Daddy you're going to see the MOST amazing, sexy, well done animation in ANY VN I've ever seen. There are lots of other reasons to play this game detailed below but EVERY game should have a scene this amazing..

I'm in agreement with most of the other 4 or 5 star reviews here.. the story is good.. the renders are good.. the "feels" are great.. Bruh called it erotica and I think that's a great way to put it. There is a great balance of humour.. you'll laugh but it doesn't get to the point where it feels overdone.

The man sticking point is the MCs annoying whinny behavior. I'm actually willing to forgive this up to a point because it's extremely believable that as soon as the hormones are spent, they are immediately replaced by a feeling of wtf did I just do and regret.

That said past 0.13 we'll have to see how things go. There is a point where it just becomes annoying and poor writing to keep repeating the same thing over and over. I'm hoping that Clever Name games makes the right choice and lets MC accept that Becca is old enough to make her own decisions and that Lily NEEDS the MC to be her friend, father, daddy and lover if she's ever going to have a chance of being a happy person. He even said as much and then not 2 seconds later it feels like he's trying to back out of it. It's obvious she needs a firm guiding hand and that a shrink is just going to destroy her at this point. If we're given that much then I'm fine with his continued push back on doing anything with Abagail.

So what are you still doing here reading this? Go start the download already

I like how I wouldn't even touch my lips at points because my heart was busy being heavy.
Good one, keep dabbling with emotions more, love it when a game's got a great balance of pure romance and lewd romance.
One gripe is that Frank just can't let himself enjoy the moment, he should be more open and accepting of his feelings towards the LIs after his realisations.
Other than that, keep it up.
This is one of those games that transcends porn, and becomes erotica, fulfilling both the heart and the loins.

Edit:
Deducting one star because the MC is just refusing to have any emotional progress in himself, it's like you go through such life and relationship altering events with your loved ones yet he's unable to change.
He's always walking on egg shells around his girls, that's alright if he JUST started getting romantic with them but there should be reciprocity of emotions, it's like girls want him no matter what, doesn't even matter if their love interest is giving those feelings back or not.
Just feels one sided at points.

Interesting story and character development. Well written and easy to read so far. Great quality and clean renders. Definitely keeping an eye on this one. Here is to hoping this project makes it to completion!

Well, in the beginning I was able to enjoy the VN to a certain extent, but as time went on it turned out to be bad. The story has a simple but entertaining concept, but the execution could be a lot better.

The main problem is the protagonist who is constantly whining
(which is particularly annoying during sex scenes) and apparently does not have the slightest degree of backbone and a few logic errors in the story itself. Lilith is a stupid cunt and it doesn't get any better when I am confronted with a game over screen after I gave her what she wanted. (Not going into detail here because of possible spoilers)

Also, it doesn't realy matter what I choose when I can decide things - it has not much or nearly zero impact to the story - the outcome is always beeing forced in everthing anyways. So I don't know how much sense it makes to give choices in the first place when they are fake.

All in all, i wish the protagonist would complain less, show more back bone and not allow himself to be treated like a toy all the time. He is simply a whimper and the story feels artificially drawn out.

Renders look okay, characters kinda cute (except for the mom, but that could be intended)

Final scoring: 3/5 unfapable due to constant "mimimi" could be better, but certainly worse.

This is may be a top tier game for me just for the characters and flow of the animations even the story is great.... slow but great. My only problem is there is a lot of dream sequences that don't need to be there or should be shorter so the story can pick up pace. I personally don't like the dream sequences that is just like movies where they throw a nude scene to get a couple extra tickets sold, but that is just my personal opinion.

V0.13
This game is good so far I like the story and the characters.
And as anyone else with the honesty to tell you... i had tears in my eyes from the first moment we see Lilly on the other side of that door.
I really like Lillys story arc. Spoilers ahead. The fact the MC kept at finding out what was wrong with her, her wanting him now as her dad and the ditto line when she was leaving. Melting my heart. I like the lewd stuff but love the family part of it.
This is one of the few "adult" game here where I have actually felt for the characters. Plot isn't stupid as it is in most of these kind of games or visual novels, and characters have depth in them and are not just mindless fuck robots.

This started off as an interesting but quickly turned into the most angsty repeating shit ever. I gave it 3 stars mainly because I enjoy the 3 step daughters a lot each of them have their specific points that you like and dislike about them really getting you invested in their stories. But the MC GOD the freaking MC. I understand the morality of the whole situation even if they aren't his biological daughters but the creator needs to know when to stop. The MC pervs out on his daughter legit every time he sees but also somehow manages to act like a virgin. The of course outta nowhere some smoking hot chick meets the MC and fucks him within minutes of knowing him. That's kind of the worst thing for me in these games where one or a few female characters are the main focus but some random sex scene is thrown in to idk give you a quick fap?

Like the daughters, the story is alright, MC is terible.

Whoa this was a huge game with lots of content and choices. This game starts off as a very very very slow burn. So if you're looking for a quick fap this is no the game for you. However, if you enjoy a compelling storyline with good character growth this is the game for you. The sex scenes are absolutely amazing and if you are patient you will be rewarded greatly later on in the game.

v0.13
This game is about a dude trying to be a dad for his three stepdaughters after a break up and the various drama that ensues.
If you play this game, expect a slow buildup. There are not really any choices, but i will prefer a good story over choices any day.
The dad gets kind of annoying repeating the same internal monologue debates over and over, but the girls to me feel the most real out of any game i have played. The drama hit me exactly where it should have.

If you like a slow burn and some emotions with your H then this version has enough content in my mind to recommend.

Played this from the start and got hooked right away, pretty much.
The girls are all cute, even though the oversized eyes kind of freaked me out at first, but that grew on me too.

The story is definitely slow burn...I mean really slow. That can be fine if the story is gripping enough. The real problem is the MC. Every update he just moans constantly and wrings his hands, while leching over the girls. It's got real fucking tiresome...but apparently the soy boys seem to love it, god forbid you bring it up. Each update just has the same drawn out inner conflict monologue and for me, it makes it a chore now to go through. Same with all the stupid dream scenes, just...arghhh.

Thankfully the girls are distinct in their personalities. Becca is the hot scheming one without her, well nothing would happen. Lilly is feisty and passionate while Abby is loyal and loving. They all want this hand wringing daddy for some reason, fucked if I know why...most would give up by now.

3 stars for what started out great but has been dragged down by the cringy, drawn out hand wringing, sorry, but that shit is getting old and I ain't the only one saying this. Fix that and cut out the stupid dream shit, et voila...would be 5 star stuff.

This is a great update. Story is fun and fresh and wow the animations are outstanding for this update. You really get a feel for the personalities of all the characters. Would like to see a bit of close up in the renders as the art is exceptional. Well done.

(Review up to version v0.13)

This is, simply put, the most engrossing and emotionally-satisfying adult game I've ever played! The story is grounded in a way that most other game plots aren't, the characters feel 'real' and they talk to each other like normal humans.

I don't usually become this engrossed in adult games but this really tugged at my heart-strings multiple times and I can't help but want to watch the characters grow as the developer evolves the story. It's a 'slow burn', but worth it if you're a romantic at heart and you love a good story.

Rating: 6 starts out of 5

An amazing game! It's a slow burn with a lovely story that is at times quite sweet. It's a rarity in that I found myself really being taken with the story and getting a bit emotional at times. I dare say it could be rewritten without the sexy elements and still hold up as a visual novel. The kinky elements are excellent though!

The art is well done. Some may find the eyes to be a little off-putting. Personally I found that they grew on me with time. They were used to great effect as an additional level of story telling.

Do yourself the favor of relishing the slow play of this game.

The game started out fairly well, a nice slow burn. When it comes to the incest taboo, slow burns are nice, as well as the morality struggles that the characters should have. It makes it more believable, and the payoff is better once the relationship finally starts. There can be too much of a good thing though, and this game proves it.

The internal and external resistance that the MC displays has been going on for far too long in the story... and he's not even related by blood to any of the girls. Even after finally having sex with one of them, he tries to say it will never happen again. It's just grating and annoying to play through. The MC should have went "all in" about 3 chapters ago... but it's still going.

*Spoilers Next Paragraph*

Lilith's path also took a complete 180 that was very unsatisfying. She's the "tsundere" character that the MC eventually wins over, but she jumps the MC's bone the second she gets over her hatred of him. For a game that was a slow burn, and considering the MC's resistance, it just felt rushed. We later learn that one of the things that motivated her was a "bet" with Becca, which goes to cheapen the whole event anyway.

Conclusion:

The animations are nice, and the writing quality is good, but the MC's constant resistance and the progression of some of the characters just make this annoying to play through and a bit of a disappointment compared to what it could have been.

The game story is interesting but its real sloooooowwww.I dont know why Dev put MC as a coward sissy guy,its annoying tbh and nothing much happen(it takes hours before we finally got some sex scene) ,I feel like Dev purposely dragging the game and story after awhile and the character progress doesnt change much.Its like he put lots of filler after filler before we got some sex scene and character progress.So,if you expect this game focus on sex scene,no it doesnt because MC is pretty much coward,goody two shoes and dense just like any manga MC.

Interesting plot, with a lot of crumb and fun. The personality of the girls has a wide range.
The images are quite good... Very good

The only downside is that they take a long time to get into tune.
And they take a long time to get the next update.

Greg game!
One of the few I would play even if there were no sexual scenes in. The story is very simple slice of life, but the characters and writing are great and compelling (although there are some specific Grammer mistakes that are constantly throughout the game, like too instead of to and things like that)
The only negative I have is that new versions comes out very rarely, but maybe that's why it's better than most.

P.s. I played it on my old tablet, then I bought a new one and didn't manage to transfer the saves, so I had to play it from the start just for one new chapter, and I still enjoyed everything although I have played it before.
